Marvel Brings Dan Harmon in for Script Work on Doctor Strange Reshoots

We’ve got another Marvel movie barreling towards us by year’s end and, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, a tantalizing bit of news for it. Community creator Dan Harmon has been brought on to do script work for the reshoots on Doctor Strange.

The Marvel movie-making machine runs like clockwork at this point, and part of that process is the additional photography to sew up anything found wanting during postproduction. The dreaded word “reshoots” makes people nervous because of what it can mean about the state of a movie (see: Suicide Squad) but for movies this big, they’re pretty standard.

So in Doctor Strange’s case, there probably isn’t anything to worry about. The movie’s production seems to have been pretty smooth thus far and its major sequences will have already been finalized, so most likely it just means Harmon’s punching up the script with some good old Marvel-mandated jokes.
