"Doctor Strange" lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch dished what he thought about the visual effects of the film upon seeing it for the first time.

"Doctor Strange" officially introduces the concept of magic and dimensions in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like the comic books, Marvel promised mind-bending visuals for the film. Cinematographer Ben Davis who also worked on both "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Avengers: Age of Ultron," calls "Doctor Strange" as "Marvel's Fantasia," Comic Book Movie reported.

Fans were given a preview of the film during the recently concluded comic-con. Cumberbatch talked about the visual effects that he really did not get to see while shooting the film.

"Some bits made me think, 'Wow. God. That's what I'm part of'. You have conceptual art that they show you, but you only really realize what you're part of at the end of the process," Cumberbatch told Empire.

The actor also said that apart from costume designs, there were several effects or props that he enjoyed while shooting.

"That's not to say I didn't enjoy the effects while we were shooting, because a lot of them were real elements, whether it was sets that make a room minuscule, or the costume designs."

Speaking about comic book differences of the live-action version of the Sorcerer Supreme, the actor went to say that unlike his character's comic book counterpart, his version of Dr. Stephen Strange in the film is slightly less arrogant with a touch of humor. Cumberbatch likewise revealed that what lured him to take the role was the script of the film.

"Doctor Strange" will bring magic on theaters on Nov. 4, 2016.
