    I could be very excited if BC was Doctor Strange, but I'll admit that I'm pretty excited for him to play anyone, so I guess that's not really a nuanced opinion. I say "could be" because his name keep coming up with all sorts of things that would be awesome so I'm not going to get my hopes up.

    Tom Hardy would be pretty cool in that role too.

    What about Bob? Are you okay with Bob playing Doctor Strange?

    I am more than okay with Bob playing Doctor Strange, in fact I think Bob should play all of the remaining characters that come up in the Marvel Universe. Bob is so great that we would all totally buy him playing everyone! :D

    I may start a campaign for this... Bob For Everyone!

    Is the Netflix animated or live action?

    He's white, that's racist, the Kingpin is black! Whitewashing a classic movie role because of "taking regard for the years and years he was a comic character" instead of paying homage to the one time he was in a movie!

    Yeah, it's one of five live-action series: Daredevil, Power Man, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and The Defenders.

    For some reason I thought they were animated, I think purely going from the fact they could get pricey and it's NetFlix. I need to get used to the new world order.

    It's going to be confusing with D'Onofrio playing Kingpin. My eyes are so used to him being Thor in the Marvel Universe. I guess I'll have to get used to it like Chris Evans switching to Cap.

    Nope. Live action is the plan and that they're going to have some ties to the films and "Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D."

    Brilliant.

    Also, if the miniseries Strange: Beginnings and Endings is translated, word for word and panel for panel into the Doctor Strange film, it could become my favorite film ever.

    I could see Cumberbatch as Dormammu and Hardy as Silver Dagger maybe. As far as story arcs, I thought the Oath was kinda *meh* and I'm pained to say I'm not familiar with Beginnings and Endings, at least not by name. Summary?

    Merk, have you seen Cumberbatch in Sherlock Holmes? . Of course it would take some minor tweaking character-wise, but he would make a solid Stephen Strange.. Much more focused than Star Trek. Cumberbatch's intensity in Sherlock's 2nd Season finale would translate rather well, especially since Scott Derrickson is the director. The main downside for Cumberbatch is over-exposure.

    Has Dormammu ever been shown without his signature "head fire?" Otherwise you would just need an actor to stand-in for the CGI effects, and Dormammu's voice would be more important. I'd say Vin Diesel again, but that wouldn't work for obvious reasons, so maybe Dormammu's voice could be another job for Manu Bennett?

    It was a mini where Straczynski followed the original origin story of Strange, Ancient One, Mordo, Wong, etc. and basically polished the details and modernized the "gravity" of that journey. Some characters were slightly reimagined (in necessary fashion) such as Clea and the exact meeting of Stephen and Wong. But, overall, it is everything I love about Ditko & Everett eras of Strange Tales completely fleshed out and polished but still roughly 85% familiar.

    Ah. Now I know why I didn't remember it. If I don't like something, I tend to put it out of mind.

    io9 ran this yesterday - the source is Latino Review, which publishes utter tripe most of the time.

    It's Whedon, I'm inclined to believe it.
