Tom Hiddleston is already Loki in the same continuity.

Viggo Mortensen was also my first pick. Just look at his performance as Lucifer in The Prophecy <shiver>

Mark Strong could also be awesome, but he has 2 film shoots on 2015; Grimsby and Kingsman: The Secret Service. Not much time to fit in a long Dr. Strange shoot for 2016.

Tom Hiddleston could still play Strange, the characters are very different and as you said earlier about using makeup, it could make it possible.

 

Virgo Mortensen was great in The Prophecy.  It was his performance in Eastern Promises that made me think he would be a very good candidate to play Dr. Strange.

 

Good to hear Mark Strong is busy, I enjoy his performances very much.

THR reports that cinema chameleon Tilda Swinton has been tapped to portray a Tibetan mystic called Ancient One, a mentor to Benedict Cumberbatch's Dr. Stephen Strange
 

Set for November 4, 2016 release and directed by Scott Derrickson, "Doctor Strange" turns on the titular supernatural hero, a genius surgeon who, after the demise of his career, gets taken under the wings of the Ancient One who trains him to defend the world against evil. Originally in the comics, the Ancient One had been male. But, likely in light of increasing gender paradigm shifts within the industry, Marvel Studios is going female.

The film will begin shooting this November in the UK, with Kevin Feige onboard to produce. Busy actress Swinton will soon be seen in Judd Apatow's Summer comedy "Trainwreck," the Coens' 2016 release "Hail, Caesar!" and (later this year, we hope) "A Bigger Splash" from Luca Guadagnino, who directed Swinton in "I Am Love."

Wait, doesn't Rosario Dawson play Night Nurse in DD?

2 different incarnations

 

Claire Temple: Rosario Dawson, whose Netflix/Marvel character is a composite of Claire, an ex-g/f of Luke Cage who is a nurse and later becomes a Hell's Kitchen doctor and,

 

Linda Carter: Rachel McAdams, the actual Night Nurse.

 

The amalgamated character on Netflix was used because the Night Nurse on-screen moniker is for films only.

Hate to burst any bubbles, but that's definitely not an official teaser. It's still good though!

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
