Title: Doctor Strange Post by: HappyGilmore on April 30, 2016, 07:45:49 PM Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular character.
http://youtu.be/Lt-U_t2pUHI (http://youtu.be/Lt-U_t2pUHI) I'm really stoked for this film in the MCU. He's such a good character, but a lesser known one of sorts so I can't see this breaking box office records but it looks insanely good. How he'll be used in the upcoming films with Thor and the Avengers remains a mystery, but I'm sure it surrounds his Eye of Agomotto and the soul gem Thanos needs. Title: Re: Doctor Strange Post by: BoyScoutKevin on May 02, 2016, 05:07:10 PM Will this be like "Ant-man," which was successful enough to spawn the 2018 sequel "Ant-man and the Wasp"
or like "Guardians of the Galaxy" which was successful enough to spawn the 2017 sequel "Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2?" Yeah, whatever . . .?! I am looking forward to seeing it in the theater. Though, I'd never make it as a casting director in Hollywood. When Joaquin Phoenix was up for the title role, I thought it was the best thing to happen to the film. So, when he turned the part down, I was disappointed. Only to see Benedict Cumberbatch in the role, and he'll be much better than Joaquin. And while there is some disapproval that an Asian actor is not playing the Ancient One, the role being played by Tilda Swinton, what I have seen of her, she looks like she'll knock the role out of the park. Probably better than any Asian actor could do. And we'll see what we'll see on November 4, 2016, when the film is suppose to be released to theaters.

Whilst I don't agree with that particular line as I'm sure there's plenty who would do great if given the chance, I look forward to seeing more Tilda Swinton in anything. Title: Re: Doctor Strange Post by: Archivist on May 03, 2016, 11:30:08 PM Benedict Cumberbatch is one of my favourite actors, so seeing him as Stephen Strange is going to be a real trip.
Unfortunately, the trailer looks like Inception with a dose of The Matrix. Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One? Who has always been portrayed as a wizened Tibetan/Asian man? At best, I'm hoping that this is a casting and role-writing that works as well as casting Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. Better than any Asian actor? Chow Yun Fat or John Lone would give them a serious run for their money. |
