Doctor Strange
 

Looks like Marvel found a director for the Doctor Strange movie, It'll be directed by Scott Derrickson, Who recently directed Sinister.

I have no strong feelings, other than I'm glad the movie will be made.

Don't know anything about the director but I'm glad a Dr Strange movie is coming.

Hopefully there was nothing to that Johnny Depp rumor a few months ago

The first Live Action Doctor Strange wasn't all that, so I'm looking forward to a new portrayal of the good doctor.

Marvel Starts ‘Doctor Strange’ Search: Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch Early Wish-Listers

Tom Hardy? plz wtf

When Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man started moving forward, I really questioned Marvel, but now that I've looked into their respective source material and they hooked them up with great cast/crew, I'm psyched about both.

But I just feel like nothing's gonna sway me on Doctor Strange. I guess it's cool that they got a horror director, and I read that Jaret Leto was rumored for the role, but still. I'd rather they focus their efforts on a new Hulk movie or something.

Benedict Cumberbatch is in final negotiations to play Dr. Strange: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=110030

While I wish they could've signed Joaquin Phoenix for the role I like the Cumberbatch casting.

Kinda funny that Cumberbatch was the first person rumored for the role back in June.

And now we have two Sherlocks in the MCU.

List of actors who have played (or will play) Marvel Characters and Sherlock Holmes:
Robert Downey Jr.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Sir Ian McKellen (his Sherlock film comes out next year)
James D'Arcy (he's Jarvis in the Agent Carter series)
Matt Frewer (what? He was in the Generation X movie...that should sorta kinda count...)

Welp it's official. The Cumberbatch is indeed Doctor Strange!

So Tilda Swinton is in talks to play The Ancient One. Uh...alrighty then... a female Ancient One would definatly be an interesting twist. In the comics there have been female Sorcerer Supreme's (an ancestor of Storm) so a female Ancient One wouldn't be far fetched.

I really like the idea of Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One. Hope they can finalize the deal.

Isn't Doctor Strange's origin hit very similar themes like Iron Man's? Cocky rich/skilled guy loses everything and must become humble before he can return to his former self?

Except Tony never became humble. Dude's still a roguish a-hole.

Love Swinton.
Not loving the idea of her being cast as a character that's Tibetan in the comics.

With how much China means to the international box office these days, it doesn't surprise me that Marvel would distance the character from his Tibetan history.

Which would be stupid. It's such a huge part of his backstory that it would ruin the entire premise to remove that.

Love the casting for this movie so far. Chiwetel Ejiofor is playing Baron Mordo.
