"Doctor Strange" may be following on what are sure to be big footsteps as it will debut months after "Captain America: Civil War" but Stephen Strange sure looks like he will be able to hold his own in the box office. The Benedict Cumberbatch-starrer is already gaining a lot of buzz, which was made evident in a recent Twitter post by the Marvel co-president.

Marvel co-president Louis D'Esposito went to Twitter Monday and gave fans a good look at the film's set. He was flanked by the film's director Scott Derrickson and producer Stephen Broussard. This marks the first "official" photo of the movie as other images so far are fan-sourced from on-set filming in Tibet.

Those who want a shot of the lead actor, Benedict Cumberbatch, however have to wait a bit longer. D'Esposito responded to fans that Cumberbacth was unavailable as he was already in his Stephen Strange costume by the time the photo was taken.

"[Just] spoke with the doctor. unfortunately he's in costume so no photos. He's so good," says the co-president to a fan requesting for a snap of Doctor Strange.

But there was still something interesting in the single shot. While there was no mention as to what location is exactly being depicted in the set, some signs point to it being Stephen Strange's lair, The Sanctum Sanctorum. First, there's the Seal of Vishanti at the door behind D'Esposito, Derrickson, and Broussard. Those who are familiar with the Sorcerer Supreme's story will recall that the seal is what he uses to ward off evil from his own lair.

Of course, there's still a possibility that it's an altogether different location. After all, in the comic books, Strange's sanctum looks very different. It's a mere three-storey townhouse in New York City's Lower Manhattan.

There's also an interesting artifact behind the three. It looks suspiciously like The Eye of Agamotto, which is a popular artifact in the Marvel lore, which was left to the Doctor for protection against the evil Dormammu. If it does turn out to be The Eye of Agamotto, ScreenRant says that it's a possible future threat for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Find out what the location exactly is when "Doctor Strange" rolls out in theatres on Nov. 4, 2016. It's the second movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Three, which launches with "Captain America: Civil War" that will premiere on May 6.
