Doctor Strange (2016, D: Derrickson) S: Cumberbatch
Scott Derrickson has been tapped to helm Doctor Strange as part of Marvel's Phase Three:
Scott Derrickson is set to direct “Doctor Strange” for Marvel, which is including the first as part of its bold Phase Three plan, an individual familiar with the superhero movie has told TheWrap. Marvel has been searching for a director to replace Edgar Wright on “Ant-Man” but already made its choice with regard to “Doctor Strange,” which follows a former neurosurgeon who protects Earth from magical and mystical threats. The character was first introduced to Marvel comics readers in 1963, and he has interacted with Spider-Man, Nick Fury and the Fantastic Four over the years. In fact, “Steven Strange” was referenced in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” Kevin Feige is producing the film, which will be executive produced by Louis D'Esposito and Stan Lee, among others. Derrickson, whose directing credits include “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” “Sinister” and the upcoming Eric Bana thriller “Deliver Us From Evil,” is represented by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners. |

I hope they get Edgar Ramirez to play Dr. Strange.

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Should be a much easier sell to GA's than Ant-Man.

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
I really hope they cast someone with the gravitas to play Dr. Strange - unless they totally change his origin he's meant to be someone with a fair bit of life experience on him, rather than some 22-year-old. (I hate the idea of Johnny Depp whose name always seems to come up, but frankly someone like Adrien Brody or Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones) would be awesome IMHO.)
I also hope it doesn't turn into some hard R horror movie. Doesn't need to be. |

I would think with Derrickson's experience with the occult, the big bad could be Dormammu, which would easily tie into the MCU. |
Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau would also be cool as Dr. Strange.

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Viggo Mortensen!

He'd be cool, too. |
Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Tom Selleck!

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Pedro Pascal for Stephen Strange
His performance would be mind-blowing. |
Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Viggo for me

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
A story on Bleeding Cool says Marvel is considering Jared Leto.
Before anyone makes the "too young" comment, he's 42. The same age Downey started playing Iron Man at. |
Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Even Bana would be interesting.

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Ethan Hawke

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Ethan Hawke is a good choice.
I'm going with Michael K. Williams. |

I wonder who's going to replace Derrickson next year?

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
Of all the directors chosen so far for Marvel films... I find this one the strangest. No pun intended.

Re: Doctor Strange (201?) (D: Derrickson)
John C Reilly, make it happen!
