Marvel Studios taking meetings for Doctor Strange
While its been mentioned since last year, Marvel Studios is finally moving forward with getting
Doctor Strange off the ground.
The Hollywood Reporter states that multiple directors have either met with Marvel Studios or are about to meet, in order to discuss tackling Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme. The people in the running are Mark Andrews (
Brave), Nikolaj Arcel (
A Royal Affair), Dean Israelite (
Welcome to Yesterday) and Jonathan Levine (
Warm Bodies). Another two people that have met with Marvel are writers Jon Aibel and Glenn Berger, who wrote both
Kung Fu Panda films for Dreamworks.
For the past year, rumors have been circling around Doctor Strange, from casting to the actual planning of how to integrate the character for Marvel Studios' Phase 3 of their cinematic universe. While its too soon to tell, we'll definitely keep you posted as to who will be attached to the Sorcerer Supreme and the people that will bring him to life.
