Rumor has it that the Oscar winning actor is the current favorite to play a certain supernaturally-inclined superhero in an upcoming Marvel flick. See who it is after the jump.
Badass Digest is reporting that Marvel is thisclose to a deal with Scott Derrickson – director of the The Day The Earth Stood Still remake and Sinister – to write and direct the upcoming Doctor Strange movie, with none other than our favorite skirt-wearing hunk Jared Leto as Stephen Strange.
Think of Dr. Strange sort of like Iron Man: Magic Style. Stephen Strange is a high class, cocky nuerosurgeon who gets into an accident and hurts his hands badly enough to end his career. He travels to the Himalayas and becomes a student of The Ancient One and learns magic. Eventually he becomes Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, protecting it from all manner of mystical threats, especially the Dread Dormmamu, who has been the villain in previous drafts of the script.
Yes to all of this. Yes to the tunic! Yes to the sash! Yes to the high-collared cloak! Yes to the gold medallion! If anyone can pull it off, it’s Mr Man-bun. LET’S DO THIS, MARVEL!
