Dare we entertain the possibility they will do weird goofy crossover stuff with Star Wars?

Of course they will. They did Star Trek/X-Men.

Axis Revolution #1 Red Skull is bathing the world in psychic waves of hatred. It's up to Dr. Strange to save the day. If he can stop being so pissed off first.



So his first candidate for someone without hate is a kind scientist... who flips his poo poo when Strange says that magic (not science) will save the day. (But I left that out because it wasn't as funny)

I should clarify; it's not that I think Bendytoots would be bad in the role, I'd just personally rather see someone who isn't so unfalteringly British in the role. To me Dr. Strange would be better with more of a Latin flavor.

I mostly dislike Slumberbatch because of his age. Dr Strange's entire origin is that he has a well-established but ultimately hollow work-oriented life that is torn away from him and he loses his entire sense of person because he has nothing else in life. It's not quite as big a deal changing careers or not having established a family in your late 30s as it is in your late 50s/60s. On top of that, his greying sides are iconic parts of his image and all I can imagine is 90s Reed Richards.

Which is fine if you're going full camp, actually.

Then you are probably not going to like anyone they cast as Strange. Marvel doesn't want someone too old to be the star of their movies. The most senior actor rumored for the role that I know of is Keanu Reeves who is 50.
