Doctor Strange Casting Poll **NEW** - Part 2

[MadVillainy]

MCGregor would be great too.


Still pulling for ADrien Brody to come out of left field

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

I have a hunch we will know who plays Strange in the next three weeks. the speculation will soon be over

As am I, as am I.

They better, if they want to keep that 2016 release date.

 

[antonydelfini]

Has anyone suggested Leonardo DiCaprio for the role? I think it's the only superhero role I can see Leo doing. Can Marvel get him?

 

[MadVillainy]

Nah I seriously doubt Marvel gets him.

 

[antonydelfini]

Yeah but I think he's perfect for the role, and the movie will definitely get a lot of buzz.

Same issue with Phoenix. I don't see Leo doing the comic con circuit for a decade +4-6 movies.

 

[Gr0oT]

Why would Phoenix really have to do the con circuit?
It isn't really convention goers that dictate the box office, they are just a small demographic of hardcore fans.
I would play off Phoenix as the oddball of the group, which really plays off of the Doctor Strange persona perfectly.

Limit him to one or two public appearances a year and the rest of the time say he is in his sanctum santorum or wtv it is.

I doubt Phoenix wants to do the same role for 6 years, not specifically comic-cons

It's a shame that Patrick Dempsey wasn't on the list of actors that Variety gave. Because he really wants the Strange role. If an actor wants a role that way you know they will give it the attention they deserve rather than just treating it as another acting job.

 

[Gr0oT]

Who cares about d-list actors lobbying for roles?
There is a reason why they lobby for roles, because they have lackluster careers that they feel could greatly benefit from a franchise role, thing is with hacks like Dempsey as Strange or the Old Spice guy as Cage, those franchises/series wouldn't benefit being as the talent just isn't there to carry such projects.

Desperation on an actors part and pandering to fans shouldn't count for anything, and thankfully Marvel doesn't seem to pay much attention to such attempts, they've brilliantly casted so far and apart from D'Onofrio as Kingpin it never seems to have been choices made with outside influence.

Except for that time that Vin Deisel managed to grab your user name.

Rumor has it that John Krasinski tested extremely well for Captain America, but Marvel changed their mind when fans reacted poorly, so they went ahead and cast Chris Evans. Of course, that was then, and this is now, and I think Marvel, at this point, has the kind of clout that they can cast whoever they hell they want.

Whew, I'm glad he didn't get it. I can say for certain that he is not Captain America. Now he would be good for Shazam/Cap Marvel though.

 

[Gr0oT]

They threw him a bone.
He did great but it isn't like they cast him as the Vision.

 

[Spiderdevil]

At this point I would be thrilled to have any of Benedict Cumberbatch, Jake G or Ethan Hawke
Cumberbatch is the most talented of the lot, Ethan Hawke looks the part most among them and Jake G is the perfect guy for the long run and 5-6 movie

 

[Nokio]

I'm so glad it won't be Cumberbatch. I like him and wouldn't be against him but I'm so tired of this fantasy fan boy casting and this great love of Cumberbatch. He is not the best suited for Strange. I'm sick of everything that's mentioned here it "OMG they should get Cumberbatch or Fassbender" give it a rest. Yes Cumberbatch is a good actor but so is Tom Cruise, that some here come down on for no reason other then his personal life which I don't give a crap about. As long as an actor entertains me and does a good job I'm happy.

I think what really changed their mind was Evans finally agreed. Johnston called Evans his first choice and Evans was very open about being hesitant and even turning down the role previously.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Lol i think tom cruise a bad mismatch for strange. Even though i like Cumberpatch and think he'd kill it as strange, i dont want him in the role. But if it came down to him and tom cruise, tom would lose every day of week for me.
Jake G is probably my top pick based on the current rumors.

I don't give a crap about Tom Cruise's personal life and I would still hate him for Strange,apart from his age,I believe in the recent years all he does is keep playing himself in all the roles,none of his roles in the last 5-10 yrs have impressed me

While Cumberbatch has already played a genius and like-able as*hole(Sherlock) which is why I think he can kill as Strange

It's fine that Cruise hasn't impressed you, but he's certainly not just playing himself. Cage from Edge of Tomorrow, Stacee Jax, and Jack Reacher are wildly different characters.

Your opinion sir. I'm also not saying that Cruise should be Strange but that he's a good actor too. Crusie was just an example but I could see him playing Starnge as well. In fact i've said it but he's certainly not my first choice and neither is the overhyped Cumberbatch. I don't see where he's done anything so awesome and great the way people on these boards carry on about him. I've seen a few films and he's a good actor but certainly no better then other talented actors out there. I'm just glad he won't be getting the part. If for no other reason then to shut the fanboys up that is riding his DI(K

 

[MakeMinesMarvel]

Marvel should hire the biggest action star out of China to play Wong. That'd be huge for the Asian box office #'s.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Cumberpatch will never ever be a go-to leading man in big budget Hollywood movies. The reason is too obvious to even go into. He will, though, have a long career playing villains and quirky secondary roles, plus leads in smaller indie films. Which is great.
