Ben Kingsley for Dr. Strange. Other dimensional being saw him on TV and believed that the Mandarin was powerful enough to become the next Sorceror Supreme!

The last thing I want is a roguish, offbeat, wacky Dr. Strange. I know they're going to Tony Stark him up, but god drat it, Depp is taking it too far.

Depp seems like an odd choice because he's probably pretty expensive and Marvel is notoriously cheap about paying people.

I'd hate Depp as Dr. Strange. I want a doctor strange who is an uptight rear end in a top hat who gets his mind opened in mystical arts, but is still uptight and a bit of a dick.

I think after the Avengers and Disney taking over they've loosened up the wallets. And it seems to be more that they're using directors who are less expensive and using the actors to keep people coming.

Honestly, Sam Jackson was seen as poison when they cast him as Fury. I could see them grabbing Cage as a big name draw for Doctor Strange. Hell, with his whacky persona the internet would market the poo poo out of that for them. "So apparently Nick Cage is going to be playing himself in Doctor Strange!"

Lurdiak posted:He means that Jackson had been in very, very bad movies that did horribly up until his Iron Man cameo. Yeah, this. Sorry I was a bit vague with that. Prior to being cast in Iron Man Jackson was largely considered box office poison. He'd been in some very terrible movies, at least a couple of which had leaned heavily on his name and still failed. From what I understand, that's part of why he was so willing to sign a lengthy contract with Marvel (something like nine movies), it was steady work at a point in his career when people were starting to shy away from him as a major draw.

With Johnny Depp for Strange...isn't this what Marvel does every time? Float a big name actor for the starring role on all the rumour sites and then use that to get their real pick at a lower salary?

Except they're in a pretty different financial position now and the last time they did that it was 'we want Gordon-Levitt or Rudd' and we ended up with Rudd and Michael Douglas to boot. I don't think Depp will happen, though.

Yes, but Jackson wasn't cast as the lead of Iron man. Hell, he doesn't even show up in the movie until after the credits. There was absolutely no risk whatsoever casting Jackson as Fury.

Strange will be hard enough to make interesting without getting stupid so they may as well go nuts on casting and have John Cho as Strange with Michael Chiklis as Wong.quote:<Jackson> had a bunch of stinkers to his name. Obviously not necessarily (or probably) his fault, but still.

Zachack posted:Jackson has been in so many movies that his filmography has its own page on wiki. In the same year as In My Country he was Frozone in Incredibles, and he had already been "cast" as Fury since The Ultimates in 2002. Not to mention at least 3 of those are small indie films. I really cannot see a perfect Dr Strange. It needs to be someone who can deliver lines "By the Hoary Hoasts of Hoggoth!" and "Shield of the Serephim!" with complete seriousness At least his modern costume is not silly looking. His classic always made him look like he was either awoken from sleep or entertaining at the playboy mansion.

I'm not sure what makes you think Depp is incapable of this. Either way I think Benedict Cumberbatch would make a pretty awesome Strange, plus he's totally hot right now. Too bad he'll never look good in a mustache.
