2. Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Jgl Doctor Strange Edited 1 The rumours putting the Dark Knight Rises actor in the lead for consideration as Strange have been around for some time €“ Latino Review apparently scooped it back in 2013, but have moved on to new rumours since €“ and though they're slightly unexpected, they're still very intriguing. Gordon-Levitt might well be too big of a star right now to fit Marvel's usual approach to casting, but what he does have is unexpectedness. Others on this list - including the top billed star €“ would be far easier fits for the role, but that might well be too safe for the studio who cast Robert Downey Jnr. It's obvious from his CV that Gordon-Levitt likes a challenge €“ if he didn't, he would surely have swerved Premium Rush like a bike messenger in high traffic €“ and that he enjoys diversity in his performances. If Marvel go for a younger Strange who hasn't yet discovered the true extent of his powers, the best man for the job would unquestionably be Gordon-Levitt.
