cool he can get it done for sure

 

[Joni]

hes way too low wattage in terms of star power. fake

What he lacks in star power, he makes up for in his paycheck. It is why you won't see Depp as Strange. Too expensive.

 

[Nokagi]

Yeah probably not true but I could see him being a really good Dr. Strange. If not they should consider casting him as some other character in the Marvel Universe.

 

[Dysun]

He would be a great pick, if true

 

[Gleethor]

He voiced dr fate in JL, this is probably a mistake.

Also, Depp's "star power" isn't so hot right now. The last three films he headlined were gigantic flops.

He would be a terrible Strange anyway.

Carlos Olivera?

 

[Discotheque]

The Ninth Gate Johnny Depp sorta had a Dr. Strange look to him, with the grey sides. I feel like the old Johnny Depp mighta been able to pull off Dr. Strange but now the fear of him playing it too goofy like that pirate is there.

yeah ninth gate depp is what immediately came to mind.

 

[Deified Data]

I really like this choice.

 

[Mesoian]

Super okay with this

So has there been no official comment from Marvel or Oded Fehr's camp regarding this casting? any other sourcing? rumors? whispers? anything?

I saw this thread pop up this morning and figured there would be some sort of update on it by now....

not even a "no comment"?

It was probably Oded or his agent who put in on IMDB in hopes of getting some grassroots interest going.

And it's not like Strange needs star power. Or the MCU does at all.

Vincent Price is the one true Dr. Strange. They need to perfect that hologram technology, or cloning.

Yep. He nailed the role of Dean Corso. Now, every time i read the novel i imagine Lucas Corso as him....

I agree. In all honesty with how high profile MCU movies are, I dare say if Strange is a solid movie it will definitely create a star or cement someones career. Who knows? I think Oded would be a good choice. Thats if its true.

Marvel isn't exactly doing a bunch of megastar casting. Chris Evans was probably their most bankable lead at time of the casting. Downey was considered a big risk with his IM1 casting since he'd had such a troubled past.

Not to mention casting Depp would be bigger poison. Dude has had a string of pretty big bombs.

As quickly as it appeared it seems it has been taken down. We now know the answer.
