11 Strongest Candidates To Play Doctor Strange

Is there a Doctor in the house?

Doctor Strange still isn't confirmed as part of Marvel's Phase 3, even though we already have some idea of who will write and who will direct, but it very much feels like it's only a matter of time before we get both official confirmation and a casting announcement. Kevin Feige, after all, has never made it a secret that the film is in active €“ if slightly slow - production. The Marvel supremo has once more been talking about the importance of the film being an immediate success, as he outlined to the audience at Barcelona's CineEurope:
"Strange is very, very important, not just because it's an amazing character study, and a journey of a man who's gone from this very arrogant surgeon to somebody who is quite zen and literally keeps all of reality together on a daily basis, but it also is going to open up a whole other side of storytelling for our movies. So we're about to hire a writer to redo a draft, and we think we'll be casting probably in the next month or two, and announcing an actor, and then we get into production in the spring of next year."
Does this mean we could be seeing Doctor Strange unveiled at Comic Con? If that is to be the case, then it's looking increasingly likely, based on Feige's own words, that the casting process is now in full swing - with Edgar Ramirez the latest actor to confirm that he's in talks (hopefully for villain Baron Mordo). and it's time to sit up and take stock of who could, and more-over, who SHOULD be given the responsibility of launching Marvel's forray into the supernatural side of the MCU...
