Yeah viggo mortensen would not be a good choice unless Dr. Strange's character relied on nudity and violence for "good" acting. But Zachary Quinto, although he may be too young, is an excellent choice. Part of me doesn't even care as long as Chris Hemsworth is on screen! Yummy.

Maybe adapting THOR: Vikings?! I want to see the scene: "I'm Doctor Strange not Doctor Suicidal." 

I think it should be called 'Thor 2: The Wrath of LoKhan'.

 And someone used this earlier...should've read the whole post before being selfish...

 Better then Thor 2: Electric Boogaloo

I'm Thor-ry. :(

I like that. He has an otherworldly look to him.

Viggo spent the entire LotR trilogy pulling off thoughtful and brooding pretty damn well I thought.

Stephen Colbert.

Well, if Jane Foster is trying to find her way to Asgard, it wouldn't shock me if D'arcy convinced her to talk to a supposed sorceror. And now, after Avengers, she's worked for SHIELD and might have connections.

I drank too much and then I Thor'd up.

Is this willfully or unintentionally retarded?  I honestly can't tell.

I don't think I've ever read this many unfunny jokes in one talkback before.  Amazing. Also, Cumberbatch.

And Walter white shouLd play Hugo Strange.

Doctor Strange candidates (my own opinion): gerard butler, matt berry, bill bailey, david threlfall

yeah viggo should be adam warlock or something.  doctor strange should be someone older, like littlefinger as someone mentioned

I Thor What You Did Last Summer

I like the idea of Viggo for the exact reasons mentioned above. He sounds like how Dr. Strange should sound, too. Change the dialogue and evilness of him in "The Prophecy," then you got yourself a fairly decent trial run for Dr. Strange.

Oh, you mean non physical factors! Oops! Sorry about that, buddy. I thought you meant who is best to play him. Well, yeah, of course that's important too. But since Strange will be showing up in a Thor movie with the same creative crew from the previous Thor movie (more or less), I figured his character is already in good hands. It's the "face" that we have to worry about now.

I like you.

Thor Thor McThor and the Kingdom of the Crystal Thors Weekend at Thor's.

I just meant there are certain factors when dealing with characters that you do have to keep. Strange is a very complicated character to get right, yet shockingly simple. Case in point, there's already been a Dr. Strange movie that got all the character beats and managed to pull off even the - ahem - strangest parts. And yet that movie was not called Dr. Strange. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104115/

I present Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Clarke Duncan (R.I.P) as a counter argument.

They pay full price to see "Revenge of the Fallen". I have my doubts.

Never, EVER question Hollywood's talents for pulling anything on that level of stupidity. They don't see it as a caveat, they see that as a challenge.

Your joke is good and you should feel good! 

Live Free or Thor Hard Thor 2: Vegas Vacation Thor 2 Goes To White Castle

Just wiki-ed Mark Strong. I wanted to second this notion, but then read that Patrick Dempsey also lobbied for this role. He seems...pretty fitting, if you ask me.

Agreed. I'd like it if the Marvel Movie-verse utilizes a younger version of Dr. Strange. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing a character that "goes against the norm" but with equally deep characterization.  I think it would be refreshing to see a hero that is gruff and weary, and his physical prowess wouldn't matter anyway: he's a sorcerer (supreme, even!), he uses magic to fight, so he wouldn't need too much muscle to begin with. Besides, this would be a nice change of pace since I'm kinda tired of seeing heroes played by, ahem!  -puts on Marilyn Manson costume- TEH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! TEH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! -creepy pose, shows ass-

THANK YOU!!

Your joke is bad, and you, um, maybe should feel bad? I dunno, I suck at this meme.

Yep, that's what this is going to be, methinks: a launch board for a Sorcerer Supreme movie. I approve of this mightily. 

-opens mouth to say something- -closes mouth- -walks away-

"It's hard to look brooding and thoughtful when you look like you're going to beat the shit out of someone with a baseball bat at any moment." I'd say I think Rob's seen A History of Violence one too many times, but I'm not really sure if Viggo ever actually used a baseball bat or just guns...

What, again? Every time he's in anything remotely supernatural (including Supernatural!) he's basically playing Dr. Strange

Christopher Eccleston (the Ninth Doctor) is playing Malekith.

On a mountain of skulls in a castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood. What was will be, what is will be no more. Now is the season of evil! Find me a child that I might live again! 

 It wasn't just awful. It was the sort of thing prisoners tell themselves in the showers so they don't have to think about who is inside them.

 Do. My figure from the Raven requires a signature.

 Apparently the actual kibosh on that idea was the allegedly racist guy who managed to get himself on Disney's board of directors.

 This. I found a trade of Priest's first six issues of Black Panther and I've been reading it over and over again for a few days. "And I still don't have any pants"

 That one actually cracked me up. Ow, my face hurts now. Good show.

C'mon tho, according to that logic, Spider-Man's in his fifties.

I just pictured him with the goatee and almost threw up.

Can we just go with idea that there will never be a Sandman adaptation unless it's a series on HBO or something? Did you read the script that says Dream, Lucifer and the Corinthian are the Endless?

Mark Strong?  Oh, wow!  Mark Strong would be perfect as Doctor Strange!  The voice, the look...he's got everything needed. I like that idea lots.  :-)

Of course the other rumor is that he's actually being considered for Baron Zemo in Winter Soldier: http://www.geekscape.net/viggo-mortensen-up-for-dr-strange-or-baron-zemo-role

Ok a few reasons why Doctor Strange in Thor works... One of the objects in Odin's vault in the first Thor film is the Orb of Agamotto!!! This is one of the more powerful goodies that Doctor Strange had since his early days and has used to foresee almost anywhere for answers. I could see him coming for one of his possessions handed down from the Ancient One. This link is of the contents of Odin's Vault including the Infinity Gauntlet... http://themancavedaily.com/2011/06/the-contents-of-odins-vault/  ... yeah hello Thanos invading Asgard... Thanos who created the Infinity Gauntlet and later when  Adam Warlock ( Infinity watch and  GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) held it, The Gauntlet was deemed to powerful for the gems to be held in one form by the Living Tribunal and who was the first being from earth to meet and confront the living tribunal??? oh yeah Doctor Stephen Strange... I see a pattern here... Now the next reason Dr. Strange is at home in Asgard is one of his long time companions in the Defenders, the Asgardian Valkyrie Brunnhilde, both when she was alive and dead. Dr. strange has strong ties to Thor as well over the years. My personal favorite is the Garth Ennis series Thor Vikings where Thor and Doctor Strange take on an army of Undead Vikings that overrun and slaughter New York.. enjoy kids...

Yeah...on a poster. I'm pretty sure five seconds of footage in A MAKE BELIEVE SUPER ADVANCED AFRICAN NATION would make them see it as a bit more than "black Batman", people are dumb, they're not that dumb.

 Nope that's terrible; a fact proven by science.  Zachary Quinto needs to be Strange. Again, it's been proven by science
