Doctor Strange "could be the next Winter Soldier" according to the first spoiler-free reactions

Marvel gave a lucky few fans (and the odd journalist) a 15 minute preview of Doctor Strange today in London, and as the first people in the world to see anything more than the trailers, the reactions to come out of the preview are a good indication of what we can expect. Plus, Benedict Cumberbatch himself made an appearance to the delight of everyone in the cinema.
