Ya know... you could pass that suggestion along to your

and he could pass it to his

and then in turn pass it to Kevin Feige. Ya know, since

I'm a film blogger, yes. And I work for Disney, but in a part of the company that has nothing to do with the movies. That would be a conflict of interest. But, I'll see what I can do for you.

Conflict of interest? Do you want a Dr. Strange movie or not?

Even though I think he'd be great in the role, I'd rather not see Phoneix tied up making Marvel movies for 5-10 years where those are basically the only movies he's in. He already took 5 years off for "retirement."

[StevenHarvey1990]

Jeff Bridges too old? Still think he'd have been perfect for Old Man Batman though. Ahh well.

That said, a lot of acting is in the eyes and for me Jake Gyllenhaal is the perfect casting for Dr. Strange IMO.

[Sean B.]

I currently hope that the 'Doctor Strange' role goes Jack Huston. He looks the part spot on and who be a perfect candidate for the role of Doctor Strange.

I think Luke Evans would be good, I guess we will see how everything plays out.

Yeah, I guess Luke Evans would be a good candidate for the role too.

Not sure why Marvel is trying to get a name for this one (first Depp, now Phoenix). If they were able to get people to watch a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, I'm sure they'll do fine with Doctor Strange even if a lesser known actor is cast.

[Walts Ghost]

Well, Jack Huston just landed the lead role in Ben-Hur, so I'm pretty sure he's out of the running now for Doctor Strange, because they'll be shooting around the same time. I think Luke Evans would be great. As said above, not sure why Marvel thinks they need an A List star, they just need someone to do well in the role. As long as the movie is great, people will come, no matter who is playing the Sorcerer Supreme.

I don't think Depp was ever even really being considered for the role, or even rumored for it at any point either for that matter. That was just some 'false' rumor that was started by someone, who that doesn't even work for Marvel that somehow spread that on the internet like wildfire.

How about Taylor Lautner as Doctor Strange?

Thanks

[Batman1980]

Ed Norton Jr would be an amazing Doctor Strange, shame he's not an option. Oh! Cillian Murphy!

I second this.

[Kaiju]

Joaquin Phoenix or no movie at all.

While we still don't know who will end up taking the title role in Marvel's Phase Three film Doctor Strange, with Joaquin Phoenix being the last actor linked to the role, that doesn't mean the comic book studio isn't getting production in order. And Screen Daily reports Marvel is currently working out their schedule with Pinewood-Shepperton Studios across the pond (where Star Wars: Episode VII is filming now) to shoot the film starting around May 2015, lining the film up for release on July 8th, 2016. The date has yet to be confirmed but since it's Marvel's most immediate project following next summer's release of Ant-Man and this is the next date in their long list of reservations, it just makes sense logically. More below!

Scott Derrickson (Deliver Us from Evil, Sinister) is set to direct Doctor Strange with a script from Prometheus scribe Jon Spaihts, working from a previous draft by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer. The film will reportedly already see Doctor Strange with his powers already intact, so this won't be just another origin story, though he won't yet be the superhero we'll see him become either. It'll be interesting to see how Marvel introduces this mystical character into the cinematic universe, but since they've already successfully blended the cosmic universe with what's happening on Earth, we're not worried.
