While there hasn't been much news about a Doctor Strange movie, we at CBM feel that only makes it a perfect time to start talking about the good doctor. Stan Lee recently mentioned the possibility of a Doctor Strange movie being in the works, but he'll hype anything; it's what he does. Excelsior!

However, Doctor Strange was mentioned a few months back as one of the properties that Marvel Studios is interested in turning into a feature film, along with Black Panther, Cable, Iron Fist, Nighthawk and Vision.

So, without further adieu...who would you like to see embody the minion of Agamotto, the Vishanti's disciple, the Sorcerer Supreme...

Doctor Strange





Doctor Stephen Strange was bestowed the title of "Sorcerer Supreme" by The Ancient One, his teacher, and with it came all of the powers and responsibilities of the title, including teleportation, astral projection, telepathy, energy projection, spell casting, matter manipulation, and force fields. He also possesses the Eye of Agamotto and other mystical items that aid him in his battle with the forces of darkness. Dr. Strange recently lost his title after he used dark energies to defeat the enemies of The Avengers.

Well, I changed my mind (I'm allowed to!)...I was originally going to vote for Jim Caviezel, but now I'm thinking Gary Oldman.

@Brent: Thanks, man!

@Nat/GUN: I like Johnny in everything, I just don't see Doctor Strange for him, for some reason. I'm feeling an older actor might be a better contrast to some of the other actors in the Marvel Studios franchises, i.e., he should be older than RDJ, at least.

@Bijous: Oh, but Johnny's sooooo good in everything! DocStrange is always half in and out of the astral world, which Johnny could play perfectly.

There are so many ways you could take this character - Id honestly, for this one, want to know what direction the project would be taken in and cast it from there. However, Gary Oldman or Depp could mold the role to fit any type of story. Id love to see Del Toro or Oldman take on the role in an intense, dark & moody piece. However, if it were to be magical and epic - Depp all the way. I am a huge Neeson fan, but he doesn't fit the part in any respect. Mortensen doesn't have the right voice (a very important factor), and Caviezel would just be 'ok' in the part.

Lets go with Depp, eh? That way, we all win no matter what!

@SciFi: Aw, man! Gary Oldman all the way! I think a Doctor Strange movie would be the perfect link between the urban IM movies and the mythical Thor movie!

Depp is obviously going to win, because he's Johnny Depp. But the best choice is Liam Neeson.

Let's go Neeson!

I thought about voting for Liam too. He's awesome, I admit!

And I'm tired of seeing Depp suggested for every comic book role ;)

Vote for Neeson!

@tea: Dude, you gotta give him props on Stansfield. Am I right, people?

@Tyler: I agree about Depp and I like Neeson, but c'mon, Gary Oldman would be awesome!

Oldman would be excellent I admit as well. He's Gary Oldman. He knocks every role out of the park...but he's the Commish :) I'd rather him stay as Gordon, since he owns that role.

@Tyler: Yeah, it's cool that he's Gordon, but it sucks 'cause then he won't get a part like Strange...probably...Ryan Reynolds...

I don't see Neeson suggested that much. Depp is suggested for Riddler, Joker, Dr. Strange, etc. My personal CBM role for Depp is the Question.
Bijous
Bijous - 8/23/2009, 2:06 AM
@Tyler: The Question is cool, but Marvel would never cover up Depp's face in a mask like that. They would want to capitalize on it with a character like Strange who doesn't wear a mask.
Bijous
Bijous - 8/23/2009, 2:06 AM
Wait a minute...no! No Depp for Strange! Gary Oldman!

Damnit, Tyler! You Jedi mind-tricked me!

The Question is in DC.

Haha! Vote for Neeson, you will Bijous ;)
