Movie director Scott Derrickson may have just possibly teased the location of Doctor Stephen Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum. The director is an active Twitter user and through his page he offered what could be one of the filming locations for his new film “Doctor Strange.”

Scott Derrickson took to this Twitter page on Sunday, March 15, to share a photo of a building with the words “Something Strange Happened Here” lit up in neon colour across its wall. The director didn’t add any captions to the image but it has since received 221 likes and 148 retweets.

The writings on the wall are actually installation work done by French artist Daniel Firman. It was constructed in 2009 on a wall across a canal located in Venice, Italy. An exact replica of the same artwork was also done on a building in Den Haag, Holland in 2014. Pictures of the said installations are posted at Daniel Firman’s online gallery.

Scott Derrickson’s post is said to be a tease to his new film “Suicide Squad.” User Superhero Feed supposed the director is again giving subtle details into the movie’s production, while user Jose I. Suarez A. wondered of the possibility of the location being Doctor Stephen Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum.

In the Marvel comics, Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum is situated in the Greenwich Village in New York City. It is described as a three-story townhouse built on 177A Bleecker Street and served as the Sorcerer Supreme’s storage for occult artifacts. The site to which the house stands is believed to be one of those where pagan sacrifices and arcane American Indian rituals took place generations ago. The house is said to be haunted with supernatural energies, which is supposedly what attracted Doctor Strange to it.

It’s still uncertain if Scott Derrickson meant to tease a film location for Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum with his Twitter post. Whether the movie will film some of its scenes in Venice or in Holland remains unclear. However, it’s interesting to note the resemblance of appearance between the fictional townhouse to that of the Den Haag building to which one of Firman’s “Something Strange Happened Here” installation was done.
