Is Viggo Mortensen Being Looked At For DOCTOR STRANGE?

Is Viggo Mortensen Being Looked At For DOCTOR STRANGE?

We have already heard the rumor that the character would appear in Thor: The Dark World, and that actor Joel Edgerton was Marvel's pick to play him, but now we have some more info from a (supposedly) reliable source that might link fan-fave Mortensen to the role..

Get that salt ready! Coming off the rumor that the Master Of The Mystic Arts may pop up in the currently shooting Thor sequel, we have another rumor for a quiet Monday. I was, and still remain, unsure about the source of the following Tweets, but reputable sites such as /Film (where we picked up this rumor) seem to think he might well be on to something..



Both Tweets are unrelated, so even if Mortensen IS in talks with Marvel, it doesn't necessarily mean it's for the Dr. Strange role. Still, it's fun to speculate. But remember that we are still unsure of this guy's credibility - he has posted a few accurate things, but also a few silly Tweets that seem almost purposefully ridiculous at the same time. The fact that so many other sites have picked up on this is the only reason we did. After all, ya just never know! I'm sure if this does pan out, there won't be many people annoyed at the casting choice anyway.
