Guillermo del Toro's interview with EmpireOnline brings up his desires for a Doctor Strange adaptation. He already has a writer in mind for the project and that is none other than Neil Gaiman; "I talked with Neil Gaiman [about writing it]," del Toro told EmpireOnline. "I said, that's an interesting character because you can definitely make him more in the pulpy occult detective/magician mold and formula than was done in the Weird Tales, for example."
The filmmaker continued, "The idea of a character that really dabbles in the occult in a way that's not X-Filey, where the supernatural is taken for granted. That's interesting."
Del Toro warned fans, though, "I wouldn't use the suit!"
