Two weeks ago I attended the Doctor Strange Press Junket, or rather #DoctorStrangeEvent, I was one of 25 bloggers there for Walt Disney Studios (Disclosure: All-Expenses Paid). We interviewed many people but the one that nearly broke my Twitter feed was Mads Mikkelsen. I posted a few days before the trip that I would be interviewing him. People came out of the woodwork to ask all sorts of questions, profess their love and so much more. The day I put up that tweet I looked at my phone and there were 36 responding tweets within the first half hour. I had no idea that Mads had such an active and excited fanbase. This was a guy I needed to learn more about. So, I got rather excited about the upcoming interview.
As with the Tilda Swinton interview, Mads noticed the Doctor Strange toys immediately. I probably should have put my Kaecilius Pop on the table for him but the thing just kept falling over. I figured it would probably be too much of a distraction, especially if he tried to make it stand up. That’s okay because he knocked over the Doctor Strange Pop and said, “I guess he wasn’t strong enough.”
Then he was asked if he would be getting his action figure he replied, “I’ve been waiting 51 years for that. So I think yes.. The interview was an excellent one and I got in a really good question that had an interesting answer. Read on for the rest of the interview.
