The Marvel Comics character Krugaar, the successor of Stephen Strange as Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-691 (the setting for the adventures of the original future-based Guardians of the Galaxy), made his film debut recently in a mid-credits sequence of the feature film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Details on his activities can be found at Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki at http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Krugarr. Concept art for the character appears in Jacob Johnston's The Art of Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Marvel Worldwide, 2017); check out pages 164-167.
Information on the comics version of the character can be found at both Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krugarr) and the Marvel Database (http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Krugarr_(Earth-691)).
Sponsored by The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain, The Reel Wizards Project is dedicated to promoting research on the representations of magic-wielding figures (i.e. wizards, witches, warlocks, etc) on screen from lantern shows to film, television, and video to electronic and computer games to the most recent portable electronic devices.

Update 7/28/2017
Wow! It has been a long time since I've thought about wizards.
I am sorry for not keep this blog up to date despite all of the amazing productions that have appeared since 2012. I will try to post more regularly from now on.
The other major item of business is to announce that the The Institute for the Advancement of Scholarship on the Magic-Wielding Figures of Visual Electronic Multimedia is no more. The Reel Wizards Project is now an outreach effort of The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain. I will start updating the blog to match our new affiliation.
