I've always read that Samael was a GOOD angel, but stayed in Hell, basically as a double agent, but every body says something different.

Think there's any chance of any actresses being cast as Angels?

How about Proyas for the Dr. Strange director and Sewell for Baron Mordo?

Of course it is, it's Hollywood.

Artistically speaking though, Sewell is awesome and sure to be fiendishly EVIL in the role of Samael.

This movie has one of the best casts ever. I am very impressed. Hopefully this is great. It is the same director of the Crow so it can't be that bad.

Great addition to an already fantastic cast

Is it me or would Rufus Sewell make a stellar Doctor Strange?

I don't like Rufus Sewell. He's creepy. And has a puddingface. Nice voice though...
