One Of The Zealots Feels The Wrath Of Kaecilius In This Deleted Scene From Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE
As we approach the home release date of Doctor Strange, the first deleted scene from the Scott Derrickson-directed Marvel flick is online, featuring the villainous Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) in action.
The first deleted scene from the upcoming Blu-ray release of Marvel's Doctor Strange has just debuted over at EW.
In it, Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) and his band of Zealots gather in an attempt to get the Dread Dormammu's attention. One of the followers questions Kaecilius' methods, but when the ritual is complete he's the one left without a glowing symbol on his head, which mean he must die... apparently.

Director Scott Serrickson also explains that this deleted sequence, along with the others that'll feature on the disc, were not particularly hard to part with:
“I really liked those scenes and I think everyone did a good job on them, [but] they weren’t hard to cut. We tested the movie with and without them. It wasn’t just about the audience’s reaction, it was really how the movie felt. Pauline Kael used to always talk about the director needing to know where the audience wants to be, and at that point of the movie, the audience didn’t want to be jumping around, they wanted to stay with Strange, who’s on this very interesting, very personal, and very dramatic journey. The intrusion of those scenes was breaking up the soul of the movie in a way that just wasn’t necessary. We didn’t need it. When we removed them, we found that we lost very little, and we gained more power in the major arc of the character. So, it was a pretty easy choice in the end.”
Doctor Strange arrives on Digital HD/3D and Disney Movies Anywhere on Feb. 14, and then hits Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, Digital SD, DVD, and VOD Feb. 28.
