On Comic Con:

"Comic-Con is a celebration of pop culture - anime, sci-fi films, horror, anything that is within the scope of geek culture and is interesting for them. It's paradise. I normally try to travel with an empty suitcase, and then I end up coming home with a suitcase and four or five boxes filled with stuff."

On Walking Away From The Hobbit:

"It was the biggest heartbreak I have experienced professionally, but at the same time it was what I needed to do because it was not a decision that was taken lightly. I am entirely at peace with it. I was very blessed to be immersed in that world, and equally excited about being out working in the other films coming up."

On His Next "Secret" Project:

"I'll be announcing something right after Comic Con because we are finalizing a deal during Comic Con. It's a big announcement for me, the biggest movie I've done, and it's a very cherished property, but I think we'll find out very soon."

So, a "cherished property"? I've heard many a comic book character referred to as just that! Could this be the announcement we've all been waiting for? Will Del Toro direct Doctor Strange!?! Speculate in the usual place guys!

I dunno, is Dr. Strange bigger than The Devil's Backbone, Hellboy, Hellboy 2, Pan's Labyrinth, Blade 2, and his other films. I REALLY HOPE IT IS.

Sorcerer Supreme+Del Toro=Epic

Doctor Strange! it would be a match made in Hogoth!

and whoever plays Strange really needs to be able to twist and contort his fingers in crazy positions, lol.

I doubt there would need to be many negotiations for him to do Hellboy 3.

Please PLEASE be Dr. Strange!

If not, I sign JohnnySmoke's petition for Mountains of Madness. ANY Del Torro movie will will make me happy however. Just keep making them!

Also, Jim Caviezel for the good doctor!

guys! Guys! Come on! It is obvious that he is giving us a clue. By Saying "Cherised property" he obviously means a Doctor Who movie. Any blind man can see that...

Does anyone think any studio execs check out this site just to see what the reaction is from everyone about these kinds of rumors or news, and that it might have some kind of influence on their decision making? It would be bad ass if it did!!!

Doctor Strange would be such a bad ass flick!

He already talked to collider about this so its definitely not Hellboy 3, and he also said that he was offered lots of projects that would have made the fanboys go insane..but had to turn them down in favor of this one, so that doesn't sound like its Dr Strange:(

Probably wont be either tho. : (

Hell he should be involved in the SANDMAN film!

I would love to see a Doctor Strange film put to work! I would love to see him do a Savage Dragon Live action film! THAT WOULD BE EPIC! He would also make an awesome Moon Knight Film! Or even a Super man Film! Imagine him Doing a Darkseid or Doomsday story line! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! Anything he would want to do can be awesome! FF4, Alpha Flight, Swampthing, Iron Fist, JACKIE CHAN ADVENTURES THE MOVIE!!! lol That would actually be good with him working it.


I would personally love to see him do Savage Dragon!

I'm sure that whatever it is, it'll be great, but if it's not Doctor Strange then Marvel Studios need some sense slapped into them for not hiring this guy!!! :P

ARGH! Why do some of you people keep having to inject reality into this? OF COURSE its highly unlikely to be Dr. Strange, but I'd like to retain my irrational hope for a little while longer!

I'd love to see Guillermo's take on some trollocs. ;) PS. Dynamite has recently re-started the new Wheel of Time comics and they're not too shabby at all so far. Check 'em out!

He said it would be a "big announcement." So, I doubt it will be Dr. Strange. It's not Hellboy.

I think it might be a new TMNT movie. Bay and his firm "Platinum Dunes" just recently picked up the right to produce the new live action movie. Bay will produce, but the movie still doesn't have a director.
