[Rumor] Marvel Allegedly Wants WHO For ‘Doctor Strange’?!
Our good friends at Latino-Review, who don’t get enough credit for breaking Marvel scoops correctly, has learned who may play the elusive Sorcerer Supreme in Marvel’s Doctor Strange adaptation.
Says the site, The Dark Knight Rises, Looper and Inception star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, pictured, is at the top of Marvel’s hit-list.
“Now at press time, we are not saying that an offer has been made, that talks have even engaged and who knows, Levitt and his team are probably unaware, BUT we are hearing that Marvel execs internally are discussing that Levitt is who they figure would be ideal,” they explain, making sure to give extreme clarity to the situation.
Being penned by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, the movie follows “a subtly maimed surgeon finds a new life when a wizard trains him to become the new Sorcerer Supreme of Earth.“
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
