RUMOR: Marvel Wants Ethan Hawke For DOCTOR STRANGE
Remember the website, ThisIsInfamous? No? They're the website that have previously claimed that Jon Hamm was close to signing on for Dr. Strange, and then it was Jack Huston and today their dart has landed on Ethan Hawke ("Daybreakers").
I have a feeling that in the future when I create a "Fact Vs. Fiction" article based on all of the Doctor Strange movie rumors I'll be putting everything from This Is Infamous into the fiction category. This website just doesn't know when to quit. While creditable sites are claiming Joaquin Phoenix ("The Master") is still Marvel's top choice for the role of
Doctor Stephen Strange, This Is Infamous has already claimed in a short period of time that Jon Hamm ("Mad Men") and Jack Huston ("Boardwalk Empire") were close to taking the part. Today, they have changed their tune once again and claim Marvel has offered the role to
Training Day star
Ethan Hawke.
After working their hardest to try to convince Joaquin Phoenix that he’s the right fit for DOCTOR STRANGE, it appears Marvel Studios has moved on after coming to terms with the fact that that marriage isn’t going to happen, and according to my sources, they’ve already found their long-term rebound. Ethan Hawke is their new guy, having offered him the role on Friday. I hear Hawke accepted the job over the weekend, and things have quickly progressed into contract talks, with a six-picture deal being what Marvel is hoping to lock him into. - This Is Infamous
