The Official Doctor Strange Movie Thread 0

[musicmeta]

I'm with you Chris, I don't get the appeal with Strange.

 

To each their own but I thought the Dr. Strange issues with Frank Brunner were some of the best comics I've ever read!

Dr. Strange is one my favorite comic books to read.

Bring on the movie! I can't wait.

Guess I'm glad I went a little balls out on that ST 110, 7.5 last year now...

I've always thought the Dr. Strange origin story is one of Marvel's best.

[AGGIEZ]

Benedict Cumberbatch seems to me like he would be perfect for the part.

 

 

I like that one! He's a freaking GREAT actor and has the look.

 

I also like the thought of Mads Mikkelsen, but he's already 50.

Ethan Hawke

 

Joseph Fiennes

 

Jon Hamm

 

Depp would be the best, but costs a LOT

 

I could actually see Brad Pitt nailing the character, but there is no way he would take a role like that

 

If Depp or Brad Pitt get the role the movie would bomb quicker than the Lone Ranger.

Here's an idea definelty pull off the cool vibe and has an older look. Hollywood would never go with him however.

 

[Awax]

Ben Affleck

Even if Marvel wanted a big time actor I doubt they go that route with any new movie - they ve done fine getting up and coming guys who die for the opportunity to star in a big budget flick and I really don't think they want to get into the habit of paying guys 50M+ like Downey gets. They don't need hollywood stars to sell their movies.

I agree with that to an extent, while they don't "need stars" they need a quality actors that can appear in multiple movies. So casting has to be dead on replacing a charactor now would not be good for continunity. As for Downey his star was in decline when they picked him up for all the reasons that made him a great choice for Tony Stark.

 

Certain charactors beg for a Mega Star. Thor for example needed an unknown I just don't see how a known actor could have seriously pulled off Thor. It would have been actor X dressed as Thor

agreed. The character is Dr. Strange, not Doctor Weird

 

Ben Affleck

[Jester Hats]

Crispin Glover was interested in the role a while back. There's something dark and "strange" about him that might work, imo.

[kav]

Yeah but Biff told him not to come in anymore

[Boboset]

Adrien Brody was born to play Dr. Strange.

 

[kav]

Oh yeah he looks the part definitely

[namisgr]

Adrien Brody was born to play Dr. Strange.

 

 

And not just from physical appearance. Remembering that Stephen Strange was once an arrogant New York City surgeon, I think he'd fit the bill very well.

[comicjack]

Brody would be great in the part,have been waiting for this a very long time
