We’ve been talking about a Doctor Strange movie here on Dread Central for a long while now, and it sounds as if the flick has gone from talk to development! Read on for the latest!

During an interview with Movies.com in promotion of Thor: The Dark World, Marvel honcho Kevin Feige spoke about bringing Doc to the screen. “[The project is] in active development right now. Doc Strange, as I’ve been saying for years, is a movie I believe we should make. We’re just figuring out how to make it a great movie. Whether that’s one of the movies we announce for 2016 or 2017, we have to see. I think it’ll be the middle of next year before we announce officially what the post Ant-Man films will be. Stuff might happen before that. It’s too early to tell.”

The last actor they were looking at to assume the mystical role was The Dark Knight Rises, Looper, and Inception‘s Joseph Gordon-Levitt (pictured).

The film is being penned by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer.

Created in 1963, Doctor Strange is the story of an arrogant surgeon who is injured in a car accident and goes on to become the Sorcerer Supreme of the Marvel universe. Using his magical powers, Strange protects the Earth from attacks from other realms.
