As Joss Whedon?s 2015 follow-up to The Avengers is expected to wrap up Marvel studios? Phase Two slate, which consists mostly of sequels, its third phase is said to introduce the likes of Ant-Man and Doctor Strange. While the latter adaptation is the only confirmed project without a release date or director attached, Marvel has apparently tiptoed in the casting stage. According to a ?trusted industry source? of C.H.U.D., the studio is ?eyeballing? actor/screenwriter Justin Theroux for the lead role of Stephen Strange. ?There?s no word on whether or not he is the only name being looked at for the part of Stephen Strange,? the sources writes, ?but I am told that there is a strong interest over at the House of Lee in seeing [Theroux] become the Sorcerer Supreme.? If true, this would reunite Justin Theroux with Marvel as he wrote the screenplay for Iron Man 2 back in 2010. However, its too soon to be sure, unless Doctor Strange will be introduced in The Avengers 2.

Hm... This could be good. I really hope they approach this movie the right way. Dr. Strange could get slapstick pretty easily if they're not careful...
