EXCLUSIVE: Marvel has finally found its Doctor Strange. I’m hearing Benedict Cumberbatch is the studio’s choice for the superhero pic, and negotiations are about to begin. The news comes after talks with Joaquin Phoenix around the time of Comic-Con went south, and Marvel went back to the drawing board. With names like Jared Leto and Tom Hardy also in the mix, this is obviously a coveted role. I expect this deal to make.

Shouldn't they have been negotiating for a long time now? Isn't all of this negotiations until they sign?

Anyways, this would be fantastic news, but as a current A-lister.... this is going to cost Marvel a ton to lock him in for 5 or so movies.

Obvious casting is obvious. The man looks like a Steve Ditko drawing. Rail thin and cheekbones.

Does this automatically mean that Martin Freeman will be cast as Wong?

They have been negotiating with Joaquin Phoenix for a long time until he dropped out recently.

Why not? And maybe they can cast Andrew Scott as Baron Mordo

Precisely. What i mean is that line makes it sounds like this isn't news. He might be the preferred choice, but he's been rumored for a long time, and nothing is signed.

on this casting:

idk if its only the cast holding the show up. pretty sure moffit also said sherlock has taken a backseat to his involvement with Doctor Who. the entire Sherlock operation seems to have outgrown the show, which makes me sad since its the best thing out there right now.

yea I thought the whole point to the Sherlock format was that it would allow them to keep working concurrent projects. Since he did 4 movies(at least) while working on Sherlock you would hope this doesn't delay it for long.


yea if they land him, it's a huge win for Marvel.

as I've said, if you can land Cumberbatch or Fassbender for a role you are pretty much golden.
