A while back, Marvel Studios announced that there would films slated for 2016 releases, as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's "Phase 3." One of the films have been confirmed to be the third
Captain America film, with much assumption that the other film would be a Doctor Strange film. With reports from Marvel exec Kevin Feigie concerning a Doctor Strange film, and a name drop of the character in
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we now know that th character exists in the cinematic universe.
With that being said, here are 5 Things that I would like to see in a Doctor Strange film:
1. Stephen Strange Done Right
Marvel Studios has gotten their heroes right for the most part, so this isn't a big issue. However, I would still like to see the character's full potential explored. I want to see Dr. Stephen Strange being an arrogant prick, before humbling himself and becoming the "Sorcerer Supreme." His origin story or whatever story they tell should be a hero's journey, similar to Tony Stark's origin in
Iron Man. I want to see a character I root for, that can be marketable at the same time.
2. The Spectacle Of Stan Lee And Steve Ditko Brought To Life
In the original comics, Stan Lee told mystical tales that blended fantasy and science fiction, which was magnified by Steve Ditko's psychedelic cosmic entities that intrigues the eye. With today's technology in film, this can be presented to the 10th power, especially behind companies that produce Marvel's special effects, such as ILM and Weta Digital.
3. A Director That Can "Bring It"
Marvel's director picks have been from good to great, with directors such as Joss Whedon, Alan Taylor, and the Russo brothers. I want a director that could capture everything I described earlier.
4. A Great Story
After Marvel's presentation of great films, such as
Iron Man, The Avengers, and
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, they have proven that they are capable of giving us great stories that keeps us on the edge of our seat and surprise us in good ways, as well as great characters that back those stories up. So, with a Doctor Strange film, I would like to see an amazing story that surprises all of us.
5. A Great Pick For The "Sorcerer Supreme"
The field of casting is Marvel's strongest suit. They have made masterful casting decisions that surprise, and even shock us, with fantastic actors. So, here is my choice for Doctor Strange:
-Rob Lowe
I know this is unexpected, but I thought about it, and I narrowed down all the fan-favorites, then narrowed down some left field choices, and Rob Lowe made the most sense to me out of all of the choices, because he's a big name right now, he's a seasoned actor, but is the right age for the character, and it works with the direction the MCU is going. So, #RobLoweForDoctorStrange, spread it around.
