Hi fellow comic book nerds and nerdettes, since there is a lot of talk yet again of a Dr. Strange movie what with Marvel Studios looking for potential directors and what have you, i figured to do my first fan cast which is gonna be on the Dr. Strange movie which would also probably the 10 millionth one to hit the net. And so by the power of Agamatto lets proceed.
Directors:
Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko (creators of Avatar the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra)
In my opinion these two created perhaps the two of the best animated shows of the past decade. Upon release, Avatar: The Last Airbender was universally acclaimed by audiences and critics alike. These shows are amazingly well directed artistically, well written and the action scenes are amazingly choreographed and have great balance between drama, comedy and action. The legend of korra series involved a lot of spirituality in a technologically advancing world and the creators have a decent understanding and interest in spirituality. Something i believe would benefit a Dr. strange movie. Much like Brad Bird who made a name for himself in he animation industry, and then went on to direct the successful Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol his first live action movie, this Dr Strange movie would be there live action debut.
here is some scenes from Avatar: The Last Airbender
Writers: Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko as well as Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer(The Venture Brothers)
Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer(The Venture Brothers) are huge fans of Dr Strange and have notebooks full of info on how to do a Dr Strange movie. If theres anything we have learned so far is that Marvel Studios + Directors/writers who are fans of the marvel property they are making = Huge Success. i.e The Avengers and soon to be Captain America: TWS.
I believe all the actors and actresses i have listed below will best represent these characters on the big screen. There range in acting, and close resemblance to these characters make them worthy of my fan cast.
Actors:
Dr. Strange: Noah Wyle (Falling Skies, The Librarian Trilogy, E.R)
Ancient One: Sonny Chiba (The Storm Riders, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift)
Wong: Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers, The Warlords, Battle for Red cliff, Wu Xia)
Clea: Rachel Mcadams (Sherlock Holmes movie series, The Time Traveler's Wife, Mean Girls, Wedding Crashers, Red Eye)
Agamatto: Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime...nuff said)
Baron Mordo: Richard Armitage (The Hobbit Trilogy)
or
mads mikkelsen
Nightmare: Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit)
Umar: Rachel weiz (The Mummy, Oz great and powerful, The Constant Gardner, The Fountain)
Dormammu: Kevin Micheal Richardson (Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme (Baron Mordo), Planet Hulk (Korg), Avatar The Last Airbender (Lion Turtle), Lilo & Stitch (Captain Gantu), Mortal Kombat movie (Goro), Pom Poko, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen)
Mephisto: Naveen Andrews (Lost, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, Bride and Prejudice, Diana)
Eternity: James Earl Jones (Darth Vadar from Star Wars and Mufasa from The Lion King)
Infinity: Tress MacNeille (Avatar The Last Airbender (Avatar Yangchen))
Her small part in the series still gives me goosebumps. she manages to give a very memorable yet short performance. Which leads me to believe she would be great as the cosmic entity infinity.
Sorry i haven't given a detailed description on each actor and actress, but its late and i felt like throwing this out there. Hope you enjoyed this fan fic. As usual sound of below.
Thanks :)
