POLL: By The Hoary Hosts Of Hoggoth! Who Should Play DOCTOR STRANGE?

POLL: By The Hoary Hosts Of Hoggoth! Who Should Play DOCTOR STRANGE?

The shortlist for Doctor Strange isn't so short, especially as Joaquin Phoenix and a number of other actors were added on Friday! Unless Marvel surprise us, we now have an idea of who may play the Sorcerer Surpreme, but which of them do you think is the best choice? Here's your chance to decide...

Feature Opinion

Filed Under: Doctor Strange

What a week it's been! We kicked things off with the news that Robert Downey Jr. has joined the cast of Captain America 3 as Marvel look to kick off Civil War. As if that wasn't big enough, this was followed by Warner Bros. revealing their full slate of DC Comics movies and confirmation of who will play Aquaman and The Flash on the big screen. Oh, and what about those A-List stars in the running for Suicide Squad? One we've heard about almost every day however is Doctor Strange

Many new names have been thrown into the mix and even a few older ones (like Jaoquin Phoenix and Benedict Cumberbatch) re-entered the fray. Marvel Studios are casting a wide net when it comes to finding the right actor to play the Sorcerer Supreme, but as of right now, we still have no idea who will play the surgeon turned mystical superhero. It doesn't sound as if deals are anywhere near closing, but with any luck a press release will hit Marvel.com before the year is over. 

For now though, we want to hear which actor YOU want to see play Doctor Strange! It's hard to imagine more names being added to the list week this week, but you never know. If you do have any other suggestions, be sure to let us know in the comments section below!

Let the Anglo Saxons sit this one out.
Go non-white for Dr. Strange.
MrBlackJack
MrBlackJack - 10/19/2014, 11:02 AM
Leto, Gyllenhaal, Hawke, or even Cumberbatch.

Obviously Phoenix is the most desirable of the lot of them at first glance, but if he isn't committed I don't want him in the role for fear that he flakes out after one film.

I think about 75% of those people would be amazing in the role, but I doubt Marvel would actually hire anybody that was mentioned. It's going to be a huge surprise.
MrBlackJack
MrBlackJack - 10/19/2014, 11:02 AM
Preferably Leto because not only does he have the chops and is a hot property at the moment, but it sounds like he's begging for the role.

Honestly I don't even care anymore, I just want them to cast someone!!

My second choice is jared Leto, but anyway Ethan Hawke is the best actor, who looks like Dr Strange!

This poll is invalid...no Luke Evans, no vote.
MrBlackJack
MrBlackJack - 10/19/2014, 11:19 AM
God no to Johnny Depp. He's a fantastic actor, but I'm tired of seeing him playing strange, over the top characters. I want to see him in some more grounded, pulled in roles.

Keanu is too old, Theroux not likable enough, MM and Phoenix won't sign long term deals, Gyllenhaal's eyes are nearly cycloptically too close together, Cabbagebatch is a great choice but he looks a little like ET in the right lighting, Leto a bit androgynous, Farrell not bad but he's made too many poor acting choices and I just can't see it, Gosling trying too hard to be a thin Brando (and failing), Hawke not bad but he looks old like he smokes 2 packs a day, and Isaacs I only know from 1 film so I don't have enough info.

Caught part of Jack the Giant Slayer last night and McGregor even at 42 looks young and he's a likable, good actor. Really like this choice.

I vote McGee.

Battabing

Luke Evans?

Okay, but DC had the gay lead first.

I still say go non-white.
MrAmerica
MrAmerica - 10/19/2014, 11:23 AM
Liam Nesson would be a good choice.
SirDuckAlot
SirDuckAlot - 10/19/2014, 11:24 AM
Jake Gyllenhaall, Joaquin Phoenix or Jared Leto

Wish they could get Viggo Mortensen...
JAC
JAC - 10/19/2014, 11:29 AM
Jared Leto
Ewan McGregor
Joaquin Phoenix
Keanu Reeves
^The only name I would be happy with, but Leto only does a film about every 5 years, and Phoenix aint' gonna sign a 9 picture deal.

Is there something new since The Wrap and Collider corrected themselves and said that Joaquin isn't in the mix to play Dr. Strange. Why is this the only source that is saying he is?
jCamer0n
jCamer0n - 10/19/2014, 11:36 AM

Luke Evans? Gay?

I didn't know that.

I googled it.

Now, I know.

My mother's vagina would be a perfect fit. It has the look and the acting chops.

@CaptainSporty Sorry, man, too old, and to be honest, the camera doesn't love it.

Throwing another Dracula in the ring. Not sure I even like him as an actor, but I really have no better ideas and I just want Marvel to finally tell me who it's going to be... :'O
JamesMan
JamesMan - 10/19/2014, 11:56 AM
Ethan Hawke gets my vote, brilliant underappreciated actor.

Benedict Cumberbatch is winning the votes though. Meh, bunch of Sherlock fangirls on here :P

Warcam - 10/19/2014, 11:58 AM
And in the end it'll probably end up going to someone nowhere near that list, like Wes Bentley, Matthew Goode, Adrien Brody, or Orlando Bloom
