[Dwolf]

Any word on whos playing Strange?

 

[Jax]

I need Origin stories you don't need to cut them, just don't make them a whole movie.

 

[Supercoolmayo]

Don't really know much about his origin

 

[Remy Danton]

would be interesting to see.

You can get away without an Origin story if it's a very popular superhero that eveyone knows the Origin. But not for no damn Dr. Strange.



I finally watched the "Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme" direct to Blu-ray/DVD animated movie from 2007 last night. So I just learned his Origin.

Batman Begins ripped off his origin.

That whole movie was an origins movie.

Sorcerer Supreme

Any word on whos playing Strange?

heard many rumors:

Depp, Hamm, Phoenix, Cumberbatch, Caviziel all "in talks"

 

[Nephilim_BC]

Depp

Did "Hellboy" necessarily have much of an origin story or does that not apply here?

 

[King Koopa]

I do think origin flicks are played now. Not sure how it will translate without a big name attached.

I took the animated movie as my introduction to him. Doctor Strange (2007) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910865/

Didn't even know there was an animated movie. Was it any good?

And maybe they'll throw a few origin flashbacks in the film. That could help things out a lil.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

They should let the Director and Writer of Constantine do this film.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't mind origin stories as long their not REHASHED (I.E. Amazing Spiderman) I think seeing Doctor Stranger's origin would be a dope way to introduce the more "mystical" aspects of the Marvel cinematic universe.

agreed, origin stories theoretically should help you connect w/the main character on a deeper level

 

[Silver Surfer]

I starting to see a flop....

 

[Erik Killmonger]

Word is Marvel isn't doing origin stories anymore there characters are gonna be established already
And I would rather see Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme already than him complaining and whining about his fukked up hands and running hills
We'll probably get flashbacks tho
If you want the origin story just watch the animated
