RUMORS EMERGE REGARDING "DOCTOR STRANGE" CASTING




News traveling fast today as rumors begin to spread like wildfire that Marvel is seeking to enlist Jared Leto for the upcoming “Doctor Strange” film.  Leto’s resume includes “Requiem for a Dream” (2000), “Mr. Nobody” (2009), and most recently “Dallas Buyer’s Club” (2013), which earned him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. 

Nothing has been confirmed yet as to whether Leto is locked down to play “Doctor Strange” on the big screen, but it looks like “Sinister” director Scott Derrickson will be attached.

As of right now there is no release date set for “Doctor Strange” but Marvel apparently intends to incorporate it into Phase 3 along with “Ant Man” which now has a July 2015 release date and currently lists Michael Douglas (“The Game” & “Last Vegas”) as Hank Pym and Paul Rudd (“Role Models” & “This is 40”) as Scott Lang.

I’m sure we’ll all be watching closely and with great interest as exciting more news is revealed regarding the future of Marvel Studio’s “Doctor Strange”. 

I certainly know I'll be paying attention!
