Doctor Strange

[Tetsujin]

Because reporting on Marvel is what I do on here apparently.

Doctor Strange set to shoot in the UK

- Scott Derrickson is the director

- Release apparently July 8, 2016

- Script by Jon Spaihts

- Joaquin Phoenix in negotiations to play Stephen Strange (for some reason they can't close the deal yet)

Joaquin Phoenix. That sounds promising, actually.

The director too. I've only seen one of his movies ("The Exorcism of Emily Rose"), but it was really good, and this director has sort of made his career on these movies with creepy, supernatural atmospheres.

 

[Tetsujin]

Ethan Hawke now in talks to play Doctor Strange

 

[Tetsujin]

Talks with Phoenix officially dead, Hawke probably untrue as well

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Well, dammit. Phoenix would have been awesome, but Hawke wouldn't have been a bad choice either.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Liam Neeson.


He is all you need.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

He would be a great choice as well. I think he and Joaquin Phoenix would both be perfect for depicting Strange at different ages.

 

[Drax]

Liam Neeson.

I think Marvel's trying to de-age Strange lately for Twilight purposes.

Every time I see him in the newer cartoons, he looks like he's 23.

Benedict Cumberbatch is Doctor Strange

Edit: Actually the article makes it sound like this isn't official yet. So take it with a grain of salt, I guess.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Yeah, it looks like somebody jumped the gun and it isn't official yet: http://io9.com/benedit-cumberbatch-has-officially-been-cast-as-doctor-1651371257

No it's happening

 

[X-SOLDIER]

No it's happening

Well, besides the fact that that image is a year old, the whole thing comes from the Deadline article that just says, "Marvel has finally found its Doctor Strange. I’m hearing Benedict Cumberbatch is the studio’s choice for the superhero pic, and negotiations are about to begin." sooooo.....

Yeah, sorry, egg on my face. Though noise from Variety is that he's in final talks. Not beginning of negotiations.

 

[Super Mario]

Well Ming Na thinks that Benedict is already Dr. Strange. It'd be good to see him with Iron Man as I heard Cumberbatch always wanted to star alongside Iron Man/RDJ.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

No it's happening

Pretty much says it all there.

 

[Tennyo]

No it's happening

If this confirms Cumberbatch for Doctor Strange, then who is Moffat playing?

 

[Carlie]

Dues Ex Machina.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Ok, NOW it's official.

[Tetsujin]

About time.

 

[Roger]

Good, I look slightly less stupid now.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Rumormill: Apparently they're looking at Tilda Swinton for the Ancient One.

First teaser:

 

[Tetsujin]

Other things than FFVII Remake exist right now?

Right right. The world didn't stop. Stuff is still happening.

Well it didn't show much being a teaser and all but I am intrigued. I mean, I'll watch all of the Marvel stuff eitherway.
