Doctor Strange

[Paul Andrew]

Aiden Gillen.

RDJ ...

... why not? With modern CG he can share the screen with himself. Jeremy Irons did it convincingly for Dead Ringers. RDJ definitely has the acting chops. It would be a terrific challenge and another Marvel first.

Not sure as to the validity of this article, but some of the past casting choices keep popping up, along with some new, interesting ones.

Oscar Isaac
Matthew McConaughey
Ethan Hawke
Jared Leto
Ewan McGregor
Jake Gyllenhaal

I like some of these choices.

Aiden Gillen.

I had thought this myself. He's got a great look for it and definately the ability

 

[Seabass]

relevant, but a great video in its own right

Not what I was expecting, wish they go with someone less famous. But I guess they want a big name to carry the movie.

Apparently, more that just in talks.

 

[Sundowner]

I could see Benedict in this role

Keanu. While he doesn't know the character he stated on Reddit that he would do it. Maybe I enjoyed John Wick too much, but I think he could pull it off.

Right, some are reporting it as done deal. This was likely to be announced during Marvel's event tomorrow, but Deadline broke the news early on.

When I think of Stephen Strange I think the hands.
I think the ideal person should be naturally expressive with his hands.

 

[Paul Andrew]

This might be genius

 

[Mektar]

was def one of my favourites to play doctor strange.

 

[dascoyne]

This works for me.

 

[Solo4114]

Solid choice. I mean, yeah, he's getting overexposed, but he's just such a damn good actor that it's hard to mind.

 

[Dreddful]

I can't get over his striking resemblance to "The Sherminator" from American Pie....

I had been hoping for Ethan Hawke, but Benedict is a good choice for this, I think. After Khan, I have no problem visualizing him spouting scenery-chewing arcanobabble in stentorian tones.

And this would maybe free up Ethan to play Morpheus in Sandman.

Eh, I'm not upset by the casting, even though I think Cumberbacht is starting to get oversaturation in Hollywood.

I still would have preferred Pedro Pascal (aka Oberyn Martell) in the role.

I love Benedict Cumberbatch's acting and work, but I don't think this is actually going to happen. Either Marvel as to reschedule, or Benedict has to drop out of one of his (too) many projects.

If not. He'a going straight towards a burn-out. Plus the fact that people see his face everywhere. Even I, as a pretty major fan, sometimes gets sick of all the news. But that's more the media's fault.

I've seen some good other suggestions, but they're having new rumours every month. During SDCC they already spoke of 'final negotiations' and Cumberbatch denied and said there hadn't been any involvement. 'There's no room for me to play it' was something he said.


We'll have to wait and see. At leas I'll be finally watching something with him in it. Not a big drama fan, which is his main branch.
