The characters that I've included here are those that I think are most likely to appear in a Doctor Strange movie...however you will notice that there is one character missing - The Ancient One! Though I was tempted to cast Stan "The Man" Lee in the part (jokingly of cours) I instead thought it would be far more interesting to see whether you guys have any suggestions because he is the one character that I could not cast, however hard I racked my brains!

Like with my X-Men 4 Fan Cast, I've not included any long winded explanations as to why I chose these particular actors but as I said on my previous cast if you have any questions please just ask me in the comments section below!

Anyway, enough talk - on with the fan cast!!! :)

Johnny Depp as Doctor Strange

Dr Strange


Ralph Fiennes as Dormammu

Dormammu

Christian Bale as Baron Mordo

Baron Mordo

Isla Fisher as Clea

Clea

Sarah Wayne Callies as Night Nurse

Night Nurse

Daniel Dae Kim as Wong

Wong

Thanks for reading guys! Let me know what you think in the usual place!

Great cast, though, as I'm sure you know, I don't like the idea of Depp as Strange at all.

Liam Neeson is the only Doctor Strange for this CBM user!

But other than Depp, all the others are great, I wouldn't change a thing.

Lee's going to cream his pants when he sees Depp as Strange, followed by an attack on me for disagreeing ;)

IDK, Bale isn't as large as or as menacing as Baron Zemo

And i'm still not too crazy about the Depp for strange thing
he has one of those young-faces

I like it... Johnny Depp would be awesome as Doc Strange!

It'd be cool if it were like ultimate marvel and its Dr.Strange jr than the original Dr.Strange. I think that would be better.

Bale = Batman....thats all.
I dont like actors with duel superhero roles.

I think Dr. Strange should be older. I agree with Liam Neeson and the Master of Mystic Arts.

Also, random thought,for some reason I see Isla Fisher as a good Firestar. (Clea = :S)

TYLER: LOL!!! If he starts posting "tAckles" pics or throwing anymore "gai boy" insults about, I'll be deleting them! All that is starting to get really old! Im not Liam Neeson's biggest fan but I think I'd be just as happy to see him cast as Doctor Strange as I would if Depp were cast! Im glad you like the rest of the cast though - as you probably know there arent a huge amount of Doctor Strange supporting characters so I made the best of what there was to work with! :)

supermarioworldE: Fair enough, lol! Bale and Depp had great onscreen chemistry in 'Public Enemies' so I really dont think that size would matter in this instance...the actors performances together would be enough IMO! Do you like the rest by any chance?

SoratheKey: Thanks! :)

InSpace: Why exactly? To be honest I cant see any benefit to that being in the movie...Id much prefer to see the actual origins of Doctor Strange than it just being his son!

BmanHall: Interesting choice...though Im not sure that I could see him as Doctor Strange!

Icemantong: Well to be fair it wouldnt be dual superhero roles as Mordo is a villain, lol! Still, I get your point about Strange being older...despite that I still think Depp would perhaps be a slightly better choice than Neeson! Though as I said to TYLER I'd be happy with either as I think they'd both bring something unique to the character!

Josh: LMAO, it's a safe bet you'll be deleting something of Lee's ;)

Regarding Depp vs. Neeson:

I don't even think Depp is a bad choice at all. He'd probably be a good Dr. S, it's just that I know there are other actors more fitted to this role than Depp.

The first thing that pops into my head when I'm thinking about Dr. Strange is wisdom. Neeson has that better than EVERYONE who was in that little poll Brent made. His face, and especially his epic voice (seriously, no dude can compete with that voice, it's killed people before, Neeson didn't get his Jedi powers from midichlorians, ya know) SCREAM wisdom and magic/mystical things. I feel that he has shown everything an actor needs to be a great Doctor Strange over his lengthy career. It also helps that he's one of my favorite actors of all time ;)

TYLER: I actually liked Neeson until this site had the "Taken" trailer up which repeated every time I came onto CBM with the same words over and over and over......I think that actually put me off Neeson as it pissed me off so much, lol!

Seriously though, he is a great actor and I agree with you 110% about his voice...his voiceover work in 'Fallout 3' is superb and actually helped to make the game even better than it already was!

Great casting right there. I gotta say in all the roles Depp has been fan-cast in this is actually the one I think he would suit the best. Though I gotta side with Tyler on this, Liam Neeson is just born for this role, and doesn't really matter if he is old, Strange isn't supposed to be a junior scout he's supposed to be little old obviously not too old, but I think it works better with a guy who breath (magical)experience and craftmanship(don't even know if that a word lol).

lyky90: Thanks man - I appreciate that! :)

In fact here is a little something for all of you Liam Neeson for Doctor Strange supporters!

This was very nearly in the fan cast but I had to go with my gut and choose Johnny Depp!

LIAM NO [frick]ing way!!!! LMFAO!

DEPP all the way!!!!

JOSH @ I thought you done a DR STRANGE cast?? Not that im knocking you, this is far superior man!!!

Its good your on DEPP side now man!! ; )

But aint you got RALPH FIENNES as a pick on your CAPTAIN AMERICA casting?? I could be wrong lol.

Not feeling FISHER at all, i really liked your last pick as CLEA. BALE is perfect for him, a lot like him for MORDO, i cant see BALE in any other comic book role but that one!

Kudos dude!! But lose the LIAM pick, if the STRANGE movie was set at the end of his career yes, but he's wayyyyy to old to be in the origin of DOC STRANGE. ; D

Josh: I do hate those constant trailers on the main page that play whenever you log on to the site. It's so annoying.

I've got plenty of Liam as Strange pics, but thanks for that one! Also, Neeson just has this stare that could intimidate anyone and has this simply powerful look in his eyes, while I feel Depp lacks a certain, shall we say, aura of power.

LEE: Thanks dude! :) This is my first Doctor Strange fan cast but some of these picks were included in my 205 Marvel character cast!

I think that I may have included Ralph Fiennes in one of my earliest Captain America casts (Baron Zemo maybe???) but this is the role I'd most like to see him in without a doubt!

I cant remember who I cast as Clea last time but I didnt actually know who she was or had seen her act anyway! So this time I chose an actress who in my opinion looks the part and is a great actress who would fit in alongside Depp etc!

Neeson's age actually was part of the reason I chose Depp...its going to be a while until we see a Doctor Strange movie so a younger actor (who happens to be an excellent one as well) may be better suited to the role! I wouldnt be in the least bit bothered if Neeson were cast though!

TYLER: Exactly! I just turn the sound off on my laptop now because they drive me nuts - I dont blame CBM for putting them up (they have to make money after all) but I just wish that they didnt start off with sound every time you come on here! Cool pics by the way! :)

Good cast Josh, not sure about bale as mordo, but I like the rest. Have you ever considered James Caviezel as Dr. Strange? He's my first pick,then depp, the nelson. Good casts though man I like all of your fan casts.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/28/2009, 4:05 PM
Sever88: Thanks a lot man! :) I havent thought about Caviezel as Strange before - to be honest, I havent actually seen him in anything but he looks definitely seems to look the part..! And hey, if you have any other fan casts that you'd like to see let me know! Im running out of ideas, lol!
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 10/28/2009, 4:37 PM
Personally, I think the Marvel role that Fiennes is most perfect for is Baron Zemo, but he would still be an excellent Dormammu nonetheless.

Mads Mikkelsen (The Red Skull) and Ralph Fiennes (Baron Zemo), sounds pretty damn perfect to me ;)
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/28/2009, 5:08 PM
Hey @ GUYS @ Turn your audio off, i do trailers dont bother me?!

Yeah my bad @ JOSH @ I think you must've posted a DR STRANGE casting in someone else's article as a post.

Actually i think it was in the DR STRANGE POLL thing lol.

Yeah i see FISHER as maybe a JEAN GREY or something but i suppose she'd make a good CLEA, just be weird with the silver an white hair thing.


GEMMA WARD was your pick, though like you i ain't seen her act either? Cute though lol.



What do you think about MALIN AKERMAN for CLEA??

I think she's got the look an the age down plus good actress.



By the way, WONG and NIGHT NURSE is spot on!!!

supermarioworldE - 10/28/2009, 5:54 PM
@josh

Apart from bale and depp, i really like your choices. Ralph Fiennes as Dormammu is a cool pick. btw, public enemies wasn't that great, though i'll admit that the performances were somewhat memorable
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 10/28/2009, 7:04 PM
Neeson for Strange, and Tim Curry for Baron Mordo!

Add those two in there and it is perfect!

Oh and you NAILED Wong!
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 10/28/2009, 7:05 PM
Oh and how do you put links to your other castings in the article? I want to do that on my next story and casting!

HAWK out.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/28/2009, 10:29 PM
HAWK @ What is wrong with you, their all perfect cept maybe FISHER??! But can live with it lol.

Having NEESON, would feel like RALS back plus he's way toooooooo [frick]ing old!!! : D

CURRY??? Are you serious??!
DDD
DDD - 10/28/2009, 11:55 PM
Yeah, Caviezel would make a great Dr. Strange!

I think Clancy Brown would make a terrific or
maybe I should say HORRIFIC DORMAMMU! Clancy's
got the big stature and all.

But all in all this is a great cast Josh@!!
FifthSun
FifthSun - 10/29/2009, 5:31 AM
Jim Caviezel is the only Dr.Strange for me !!!
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 10/29/2009, 7:39 AM
@LEEE. Have you seen Curry act? He is perfect for Mordo. And as for his age, Mordo is older than Strange so no stretch there.

And Neeson is a great actor. Aren't you one of the ones pushing a 40 year old for Cap? Didn't you say age doesn't matter?
Shaman
Shaman - 10/29/2009, 8:08 AM
Good cast EXCEPT FOR ONE!!! Baron Mordo is Tim Curry!!!



And DDD is right, Clancy Brown would be a stellar Dormamu ;)

Good cast!Ralph Fiennes is Doctor Doom though!

Dr.Strange jr. was the only thing I didn't understand about the Ultimate universe...it made no sense to me especially seeing as he looked and talked just like the original. If you're going to try and go a different way with a character actually go a different way. It's like they planned to do something different with him and then just forgot to do it.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/30/2009, 5:24 AM
NEESON is no good for DOC STRANGE!!! The fact that he looks like RAL from BATS dont help either lol!

I still like BALE only MARVEL character he could ever play!

Yes ive seen CURRY act, theres much more MARVEL roles that would fit him much better.

Nice. Gotta agree with you and LEEE777 on Depp.

@Josh you should do a iron fist,luke cage, and moon knight fan cast. you seem to have good choices for your casts, check out some of my previous cast if you like.

Johnny Depp is the worst choice for Doctor Strange.
Gary Oldman or even Edward Norton

Liam Neeson would be the perfect Dr. Strange, but Depp is not a bad choice!
and Christian Bale as Baron Mordo = Perfect
