Jack Huston Rumored For "Doctor Strange"

Another name has been added to the fire of casting rumors surrounding Marvel Studios' "Doctor Strange" project - Jack Huston.

This Is Infamous reports that "Boardwalk Empire" and "American Hustle" star Huston is the latest candidate, and the actor is "definitely in the running" but doesn't mention if previous actors linked to the project are also still in the running including Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jared Leto, Tom Hardy and Joaquin Phoenix.

31-year-old Huston has been rumored for several Marvel roles before - he was up for Doctor Doom in the "Fantastic Four" reboot, and was a finalist for the Star-Lord role in Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy". He's well regard by his peers, but isn't a box-office name which would make sense for a part that requires a multiple film commitment.

How reliable is the rumor ? On the one hand Huston is on many people's castings lists for numerous projects so it's not unexpected. On the other, this same site also broke the story back in January that they were certain Jon Hamm will play the role. Hamm himself flat out denied ever having any talks with Marvel about any role the other day.

Scott Derrickson is attached to direct from a script by Jon Spaihts. Earlier this month Huston signed on to play Wickham in "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" for Paramount.

I like Leto as an actor but I just can't see him as Dr. Strange. I envision Strange as having more gravitas and heft about him, while Leto is just slight in every way and I think the character should be a bit older.
My top 5 actors I think would be perfect for the role of Dr. Strange:

Luke Evans

ONLY ONE I AGREE WITH. And I think Jared Leto is a great choice[/QUOTE]

I wouldn’t have minded Evans or Pascal since they look so much the part but I’m glad they went with a big name actor with definite chops. Playing Sorcerer Supreme convincingly I would think is difficult. Hard to be all mystical and believable at the same time. Mikkelson would have been fine as far as talent, he just looks nothing like him. Only definite no is Joe Fiennes.

News brehs: Benedict Cumberbatch To Play ‘Doctor Strange’
EXCLUSIVE: Marvel has finally found its Doctor Strange. I’m hearing Benedict Cumberbatch is the studio’s choice for the superhero pic, and negotiations are about to begin. The news comes after talks with Joaquin Phoenix around the time of Comic-Con went south, and Marvel went back to the drawing board. With names like Jared Leto and Tom Hardy also in the mix, this is obviously a coveted role. I expect this deal to make.
