On the status of Doctor Strange
"Scott Derrickson has been announced as the director. Doctor Strange is a character that I've been interested in for many, many years and that I've talked about in interviews for probably 14 years, because I believe it's very, very important for us to explore every nook and cranny of the comic-book universe and we've done the street-level heroes, and we've done the billionaire superheroes [on Earth]. We've now done the cosmic side with Thor and Avengers and most obviously with Guardians, but there's a whole other side of the Marvel comics, which is that supernatural side - the interdimensional side of the Marvel universe, and Doctor Strange is, I believe, our entry point into that other realm, which has dozens of characters and storylines all of its own.
So Strange is very, very important, not just because it's an amazing character study, and a journey of a man who's gone from this very arrogant surgeon to somebody who is quite zen and literally keeps all of reality together on a daily basis, but it also is going to open up a whole other side of storytelling for our movies. So we're about to hire a writer to redo a draft, and we think we'll be casting probably in the next month or two, and announcing an actor, and then we get into production in the spring of next year."

i love that we're going to learn more about thanos during the upcoming movies until avengers 2 and i love how everything is connected, i didn't know ant-man was that huge no pun intended
ReplyDeleteHmm disappointed there's no update on a Black Widow movie. Still I'm looking forward to Agent Carter and the Daredevil show.
ReplyDeleteI think a Black Widow/Hawkeye would be great........especially before the events of the Winter Soldier and before The Avenger.......
ReplyDeletesteve and natasha romance
ReplyDeleteSame I would love to see an origin movie about her, particularly if she was telling the truth in TWS her origins may be a little different then the comics.
ReplyDeleteI would love for Hawkeye to be in it, but not to much, probably the second half when he comes to kill her but makes a different call.
Lol you can see I've thought a lot about it, Black Widow is my favourite female hero in all of comics and I would probably go broke seeing a movie of her so many times.
Hmmm I am not familiar with Doctor Strange other than in name but he sounds like he'd be my favorite Marvel character haha
ReplyDeleteIf your interested, Marvel and Lionsgate released an animated Doctor Strange film a few years back. It modernizes his origin story.
ReplyDeletei'd love both a black widow movie and a doctor strange movie... :D and i'm very excited about 'agent carter'
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a Black Widow film to. I would love to see an origins film of her.
ReplyDeleteEven though Daredevil will have a very loose connection to the films etc I do hope Coulson pops up somewhere! Anyway I'm really looking forward to the show.
