Doctor Strange: the movie

[bransen2099]

No mention of him by Marvel at the press conference event. If it was such a sure thing, they would have brought it up. I hope that Cumberbatch will be starring in this and own it after all.

Fixed

And it's because they're still negotiating contracts. Anything can happen like with Phoenix at this point.

He looks a little strange to me

I don't know about Strange, but he looks like he'd make a cool vampire character.

Joaquin Phoenix Breaks Silence On DOCTOR STRANGE

Though Benedict Cumberbatch seems to be all but confirmed to lead Marvel's 2016 Doctor Strange adaptation, actor Joaquin Phoenix was reportedly in talks to play the Sorcerer Supreme at one point, before those talks eventually fell through. Well, during an interview with Playboy magazine, the three-time Oscar-nominated actor finally addressed the casting rumor. "I can't talk about it," Phoenix started. "I’ve met on all sorts of movies throughout the years. What seems appealing about some of them is the idea of pushing myself in a way that’s out of my comfort zone. But really, it’s what I’m always looking for—good characters, big ideas and a passionate filmmaker. If those things line up with any kind of movie, I have interest in it." When asked if he has ever regretted turning down a role in a big movie, maybe a different Marvel movie or even Batman v Superman, Joaquin Phoenix admitted there is one. "There’s only one movie I regret saying no to—except the person who ended up doing it was so good and was absolutely meant to do it, so I don’t have any regrets. I’m not going to say which one, but it was a really big hit. It’s getting to the point where they’re making some pretty decent movies. I thought Iron Man was fantastic." Furthermore, Joaquin Phoenix was asked did he like comic books growing up, to which he replied, "There’s some great Batman stuff and classic Frank Miller Dark Knight stuff and Arkham Asylum. But I was always a big Wolverine guy. I love Wolverine—big [frick]ing great dramatic character. They’re all conflicted, and they’re really interesting." What do you think?

Directed by Scott Derrickson, Doctor Strange is scheduled to hit theaters on November 6, 2016!

He can't be talking about Strange if the role he turned down "was a really big hit."

Maybe it was Avatar or Titanic.

gladiator II, the Revenge?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

He doesn't seem like a franchise guy. Signing for 1-3 perhaps but not signing for a 7+ commitment

gladiator II, the Revenge?

I was also thinking it could be this.

Meh......

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I'll hold judgement until I see him suited up

 

[pturtle]

He'll be awesome, great casting.

 

[Brainiac]

He'll be awesome, great casting.

I'll never question Marvel Studios (again)

 

[DFanatic]

Not happy about it... I just hope to be proved wrong.

 

[RIDDICK]

Definitely not someone I'd picture as Strange.
Also haven't seen him in anything outside of "Ster Truck Wraz of Kheh".

I'll w8 for him geared up.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

A good day as a Sherlock fan. We got Andrew in Spectre and Benedict as Strange?! Love it!

I initially had no motivation for Strange, this has pushed it for me!

Dr. Smaug

I think he'll be fine, but think other choices would have been superior. Chances are it will be a good movie.
