cough, cough, DAVID TENNANT, cough, cough
Yea, he's not a bad choice at all. Think he could be great. Always have a tough time with casting Strange.

I think you mean "Daniel Day Lewis if he would actually do a movie like this..."

Not sure who I think would be best for the part or the director though. But picking Johnny Depp has got to be the laziest casting choice possible, IMO.
Bubonic said:What's so bad about Depp, is he a lazy choice solely because he is the obvious choice?
Of all the actors mentioned he's the only one I can imagine shouting "By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth!" and it coming out good.
He has enough range to be serious yet completely eccentric while remaining completely believable from one end to another.
These clips more than prove how awesomely capable Tennant would be with heavy drama, where he's rockin' some heavy Hamlet from the Bard. And anyone who's ever watched Who knows he's more than capable of the more eccentric side of things.
Combine all that with this picture and it just fits.
I take my casting seriously, but I've never had this much conviction for my idea how perfect a certain actor would be for a role. Tennant all the way.

what about Stephen Moyer? (i always liked how people automatically pick someone with a pre-existing mustache/goatee/long hair for a role)
Hmm, most likely won't get it for the same reason Skarrsgard didn't get Thor. Too well known as an already established character on a hit series. It detracts from just seeing the character rather than the actor. It's the same reason Depp shouldn't get it.
Oh and I liked whoever suggested Del Toro as director. Yeah, that could seriously work.
If I recall correctly that was Guillermo himself. He said in an interview ages ago that he was really interested in doing a Dr. Strange movie.Oh and I liked whoever suggested Del Toro as director. Yeah, that could seriously work.
That's why Marvel cast people like Evans and Hemsworth, not A-Listers.
I agree that Depp shouldn't be Doc Strange, too, but not for the fact that he's an A-list actor.
I don't get the argument that A-listers will "detract" from the roles.
Granted, that *seems* to be Marvel's strategy
(although they sure as hell don't have any qualms about casting A-listers in villain and supporting roles),
but how THEE hell would getting marquee all-stars hurt the movie's box office...???
Marvel's films are making *decent* box office, but if they started casting superstars in the lead roles, they could be looking at b.o. that's a lot closer to Batman and Spidey (or better).

Of course he is interested in doing quiet a few movies so I don't actually see that happen.
