Fan Fic: Doctor Strange

Fan Fic: Doctor Strange

Wadey's take on a live action adaptation!

By Wadey09 - Dec 17, 2009 12:12 PM EST
Filed Under: Fan Fic

With Marvel attempting to create a cohesive film universe, I believe that the Sorcerer Supreme is destined to grace the silver screen within ten years. Hopefully! Until that time, I have conceived an idea of who should be portrayed in the movie.

Doctor Stephen Strange- Liam Neeson


This character is a no brainer. Liam Neeson not only looks the part of Doc Strange, he has the talent to back it up!


The Ancient One- Roger Yuan

You would recognize this actor from Shanghai Noon and Bulletproof Monk. To play an ancient, wizened, Yoda like figure, I choose this guy. Look at the photos and tell me I am wrong.


Wong- Chow Yun Fat

Also an actor from Bulletproof Monk, he proved in that movie that he can play obedient, sarcastic, and an overall likeable monk.


Clea- Isla Fisher

Got this idea for Josh24 and I have been warming up to the idea of her as Clea.


Night Nurse- Sarah Wayne Callies

Also another Josh24 pick, I couln't find anyone better suited to play the part of Night Nurse.

And now onto the villains:

Baron Mordo- Christian Bale

I saw this picture while doing a search on google and fell in love with the idea. It is only irony that makes this pick a Josh24 pick.


Mephisto- Peter Fonda

Ths guy played an excellent Mephisto in Ghost Rider but this time I would love to see more demon than man.

I would have placed Dormammu in this film but feel that he should be left for the sequel that way he can be explored thoroughly.

Thanks to Josh24 for the three picks!

So what do you think?

LEEE777 - 12/17/2009, 12:45 PM

@LEEE- Agghahagahag!!! Dr Strange IS old!!! Even in his origins. Depp isn't old ENOUGH for the part. Neeson is by far the better choice ;D

Great cast, Liam Neeson is the perfect Doc Strange :D

Awesome cast. The only problem is that Chow Yun Fat is too old to play Wong. I like Daniel Dae Kim for the role.

Ryden @ BWAAHHAHHAHHAHA yourself dude,,,

DR STRANGE ain't that old for the start of his career, actually read a DR STRANGE comic and read the origin! ; )

NEESONS so over used for parts like this it isn't even funny!!

DEPP ain't young but he ain't grand daddy old either!!! : D
Ryden
Ryden - 12/17/2009, 1:14 PM
@LEE- I DO read the comics, and Strabge as AT LEAST 50 when he starts, Neeson is Doc Strange dude. ;)

So, Neeson is over used, but Depp, the epitome of over-used actors, isn't?

Strange is supposed to be old.

Neeson still kicks plenty of ass in his experienced age (Taken).

Neeson screams experience, wisdom, intelligence, power, etc. He fits Strange's CHARACTER many times more than Depp.

Great cast Wadey! Except Fonda as Mephisto, he sucked in Ghost Rider, along with everything else.

http://marvel.com/universe/Doctor_Strange

First line of the entry says "Born 1930", and the first Doctor Strange story came out some time in the 60s...(63, I believe), so technically, he was 33, although I found it hard to believe that he could be so young and be a "world-renowned neurosurgeon", all the math checks out--four years for "regular" college, putting him at 22 or 23 (assuming he started out around the age of 18 or 19-ish), followed by the eight years of medical school it takes to become a neurosurgeon, which puts his age at 30, plus the three (or, more realistically four or five) years it would take to become "world renowned" as a neurosurgeon, puts him between 33 and 35.

I hate math, that's why I refused to major in anything that required a math credit, thus--I haven't done any math besides "what do I tip them?" or "how much does that cost?" in ages, so if I screwed up, just recalculate it--all the years I listed are (to my knowledge) correct.

Wadey09 - 12/17/2009, 1:42 PM
so if Strange is 33 or 36, did he prematurley grow grey hair? or was it silver?
idk, but what i do know, is that as long Strange has been Strange, he has had grey/silver/white streaks in his hair.
contrast
contrast - 12/17/2009, 2:01 PM
@Wadey09--yeah, you're right, he always had the grey streaks, but I'm just going by the facts. I like your cast, though I have my own picks for a few of them (which you can see by copying

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/WerewolfByNight/news/?a=12114

into the address bar for part 1, and

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/WerewolfByNight/news/?a=12247

for part 2 , because I'm a shameless self-promoter)

And, I actually know a woman who's in her early thirties that has had a natural grey streak in her hair for years--we call her Rogue.

Anyway--my point was simply that (for the most part) age shouldn't be THAT MUCH of a factor in choosing Doctor Strange, because though I see him as a guy in his mid forties, he is actually a decade younger. It was directed towards the LEEE/Ryden argument, not your cast choices, which, as I said above, are all pretty good. And to be perfectly honest, though the character have to would be portrayed differently depending on who played him, I wouldn't mind seeing Depp of Neeson as Strange--I think they'd both do a good job.

Wadey09 - 12/17/2009, 2:13 PM
@Contrast,
i liked your cast picks! way more in depth than mine.
and do you seriously call your friend Rogue?
AWESOME!
contrast
contrast - 12/17/2009, 2:29 PM
@Wadey--Thanks!

And yeah, we do call her Rogue, and she hates it..but in an only semi-related story, her brother's best friend is a comic artist (Tom Mason--his "biggest" work was doing the color work for "Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash"; He gave me signed copies of each issue for my birthday last year...) and he ALSO did the color work for the picture of Crimson Dynamo that RadBracket posted in the Iron Man 2 Official Trailer thread. (which I own the original copy of, after a weeks worth of pestering him.)

Also, along with being a shameless self-promoter, I apparently enjoy bragging... eh

LEEE777 - 12/17/2009, 2:37 PM
NEESON'S too [frick]ing old!! ; D

Contrast @ Cool man!

WADEY @ Dude JONHNNY DEPP'S 46 man!!!!

Perfect age for the start of the career of DR STRANGE!

Not nearly [frick]ing 60!!!!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/17/2009, 2:51 PM
Great cast! :) I'd be happy to see either Depp or Nesson as Strange, though I have to admit that Neeson's voice is better suited to the role! Your Ancient One and Wong picks are great and I'm glad that you agree with me on the other few!

InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 12/17/2009, 3:13 PM
Neeson simply fits the personality and overall character of Strange so much more than Depp.

I wouldn't believe for a second that Depp was the wise, experienced sorcerer that Strange is.

Neeson's voice, face, and overall acting style embodies the words power, mystery, and mystical.

Sure, Depp may beat him in the age department, but that's all Depp has on Neeson. Liam owns Depp in every other category in regards to Dr. Strange.

@Ozy
Thanx! when's your next cast and what's it about?
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 12/17/2009, 3:49 PM
TYLER @ Just admit it, you've got a love affair with NEESON! ; D

NEESON is too [frick]ing old and he plays the same character in every [frick]ing thing!!

I don't want DR STRANGE sounding like NEESON lmao!

[frick] it'll look like he fell out of BATMAN BEGINS! : D
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 12/17/2009, 4:24 PM
So you don't want Strange sounding commanding, powerful, strong, etc.?

That's logical.

And like I pointed out to you already. You said Timothy Dalton was a much better choice than Neeson, even though he's 6 years older.

Oh, and, I guess you're right about Begins. I mean, Ra's sure as hell used magic and wore a mystical outfit all the time. That's like saying Neeson shouldn't play anyone with a beard anymore, because he had one in Begins.

I don't want to see Jack Sparrow playing Strange, which is what I would see if Depp played him.

If Depp wasn't suggested for so many CBM roles, I wouldn't have that big a problem with him. But, he is, and it annoys the sh*t out of me.

LEE & TYLER: Stop fighting guys, lol! We need to be on the same page if we're gonna do that giant cast together! You're both part of the Fan-Castic Four for goodness sake! ;D

who's the fourth member?

InTylerWeTrust - 12/17/2009, 5:27 PM
Josh: No worries man. This isn't that big a deal. Compared to the Cap arguments, this is like a fake yo mama contest ;)

But hey, you're right :)

DDD
DDD - 12/17/2009, 5:28 PM
Let's get along here guys, Josh@ is totally right!
We're the Fan-castic 4 now, at least until we finish
the phenomenal 1000 cast thing!

Lets just agree to disagree about Neeson and Depp!
We're all entitled to our opinions. You both bring
strong points to the argument!

BTW, here's my latest posting on my AVENGERS 2 fancast
about the big project:



"These are all very good ideas guys!

If anyone else besides we 4 have ideas
I myself am wide open for input.

Thanx Dogs for all the help! It doesn't
just have to be the 4 of us looking for
characters, history or ideas. Anybuddy
can pitch in any suggestion or info they
like! I for one am not adverse to any
help or input but I will work my butt off
on my part with any info that comes my
way!

Yup, I fit THE THING! The rest of you will
have to figure out which character you are!
I want the other 3 of you to like the the
FF4 character you choose but I totally luv
the Fan-castic 4 title like gangbusters! :D
Thanx for that title Dogs@!

I suggest that we turn the girl names into
guys unless you guys, Tyler@, Josh@, & Leee@.
don't really care! lol

Such as INVISIBLE MAN instead of Invisible
girl!

I like HUMAN TORCH/JOHNNY for Leee@ 'cause he's
always on fire for CBM and seems to be on here
all the time and all fired up most the time! ;D

Tyler@ for REED RICHARDS/MR. FANTASTIC 'cause
he's very scientific about his fancastings!

And JOSH@ for INVISIBLE MAN 'cause he gets himself
out of the way when casting characters and thinks
only of which actor would be precisely proficient
for each roll, becomes almost invisible behind
his fancasts! Just wants the best guy/gal for the part!

Now these are only suggestions , just ideas I had
personally, not written in stone! Whatever the rest
of you want. But as DOGS@ suggested I fit THING/BEN
GRIMM!"

AWESOME FREAKING CAST!!!! LIAM all the way!!!

@LEEE: I like Depp for Strange... but Neeson is BETTER!!!

@Tyler/Josh/DDD/LEEE: You guys should be called "The Comic Casters!!! (or Watchers)"
DDD
DDD - 12/17/2009, 5:33 PM
Cool pic Tyler@!

THE FAN-CASTIC 4! We're gunnin' for CBM
history! ;D

lol I look at that pic and I get kinda
all tingly! :D :D ;D
DDD

Hip-hip-hooray!!!

Ozy: We're throwing the idea around of collaborating on a huge entire Marvel universe fan cast.
DDD
DDD - 12/17/2009, 5:56 PM
Ozy@, I myself will take all the input you wanna give me
on actors for characters. We're doing the history of
Marvel, 1000 character fancast. 62 characters each in
each section of 250 of 4 sections of 1000.

We each will do 62 and then compare notes on it before
it gets put on fanfic each time so all 4 of us are in
agreement before it gets posted!
DDD
DDD - 12/17/2009, 6:00 PM
Yeah, it would be cool if it could make the front page!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/17/2009, 6:06 PM
TYLER: Haha, great pic dude!

DDD: I agree with everything you say up there man! And hell, I'm ok with being the Invisible Man because your reasoning behind that title is flawless! :)

OZY: Yeah, the four of us are thinking of getting together and working on something HUGE. Nothing has been set in stone yet but I think its definitely happenning!

Fan-Castic 4 has epic possibilities.
Tyler-love the pic of you 4 above
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/17/2009, 6:19 PM
TYLER: That makes a lot of sense - I'll look into setting one up tonight or in the morning! I'm going to spend tomoorow scouring the web for some lists of characters and hopefully I'll find some lists that give us an idea of order of appearence - otherwise, I guess we'll have to do it in alphabetical order!?

Either way, I'll make sure to try and email you, DDD and LEE tomorrow with the beginnings of some sort of list hopefully! You guys can do the same if you like but Im happy to make a start on that! :)
