Doctor Strange is a Marvel sorcerer who first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the 2016 film Doctor Strange, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. His glowing, circular magical shields quickly became one of his signature visuals, recognised in later Avengers films and animated appearances. Fans began clipping the distinctive conjuring sound for soundboards and fan edits, where it now works as shorthand for magic, protection and power. Its short length and instantly mystical tone keep it useful for creators long after the films.
