RUMOR: Major Doctor Strange Details!

RUMOR: Major Doctor Strange Details!

This is only a rumor until proven true, but major details have surfaced about Doctor Strange has surfaced!

A source has given me some details on what is going on with the Doctor Strange movie. Last we all heard, 'Conan' writers Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer were set to do the screenplay. Then just weeks ago from the same source I received a tip that Guillermo del Toro is set to direct Doctor Strange, now I am told he should be announced any day now.

The source said: "Expect some announcement of Guillermo del Toro directing Doctor Strange any day now. He has been in talks ever since May, and he actually dropped out of "The Hobbit" in favor of "Doctor Strange". Marvel is very pleased with the screenplay Thomas Donnelly and Josh Oppenheimer have shown them, but they are planning to bring another writer on board to make improvements on it. No talks have begun with actors, but Marvel has put together a "wishlist" that has names such as Nestor Carbonell Skeet Ulrich."

I am hoping this all turns out to be true, because I LOVE the idea of del Toro directing 'Doctor Strange', and I think Carbonell and Ulrich are interesting choices for the role.

I am sorry for not including a source!

Del Toro is a fantastic choice for director. But for play Doctor Strange I have hope to be Liam Neeson or Hugh Laurie

Sounds a little too good to be true just like that rumor that Edward norton was still playing the hulk. Lets just hope that it turns out Del toro really is directing Doctor Strange

Nice find Kaboom! Guillermo would make this epic adn really introduce a lot of people into the supernatural world of MARVEL for real this time.

On an unrelated manner, would you say that my coverage about the Spider-Man reboot a couple days ago might have ruined my credibility on this site? :(

@MikeHawk
What? No, like everyone's been telling me: everyone makes mistakes. This wasn't your fault. But thank you for helping me though. I really appreciated what you did for me and if you ever have any more to say just give me or anyone else the scoop. And please don't go darkside on us. :)

@teabag
Oh good lord no! It's all good. I was just a little paranoid about it because you know I do worry about it. Perhaps too much. Thank you again for looking out for me. :)

@TABOO13
Thanks for the hug. I'm over it now. :)

@otherside
Thanks again, and I'm glad to know that you all are still interested in what I have to say. :)

That's cool, hopefully the dude on the left gets the gig cus he looks like Dr. Strange and he was good in Batman Dark Knight.

Carbonel would do the role justice for less than half the money Depp would want. I like Depp, I really do, I just think he is overexposed.

@Average dude, I told you not to worry bout it you're a great credible CBM'er to this site. If anything I'm the one who should apologize for the SM rumor cuz I believed it too and rolled with it like I was on a river. haha Like everyone said, we all got your back bud :D

Not bad choices, but they can do better. No Jhonny Depp, I'd keep saying that my vote goes to Billy Campbel (4400).
Thank God for No Dempsey!!
