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!

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?

      Again, this is an irrelevant attempt to attack the messenger. The truth does not require any justification.

      Removed the blue and underline as you did not post a link. This would also  be considered spamming.
