With the announcement that Scott Derrickson is set to direct a Doctor Strange movie, an interesting claim from Badass Digest has popped up. In an article reporting the director announcement, the site says that they "have also heard that Marvel likes (or liked, I don’t know what the current status of this is) Jared Leto for Stephen Strange." The article speculates that the entirety of Phase Three will be unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con this year, and says to "expect Derrickson - and whoever is playing Strange - to take that [Hall H] stage." Previous actors rumoured to play Strange include Johnny Depp and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but nothing has been set in stone. Leto recently won an Academy Award for his supporting role in Dallas Buyers Club after taking a break from acting. This is still a rumour, but he certainly has the chops to pull it off, with a big acting range. What are your thoughts?

Hm, that's a pretty decent choice. From what I heard, he was great in Dallas Buyers Club. I'd love to see this.

Jared Leto is a interesting choice...he is 42 even though he looks younger and he is a good actor

He's into the occult anyway. I bet he's experienced half the shit they put in the movie. Plus, he can act and has an Oscar.

I think he could do a good job at playing all the characteristics that stand out with Doctor Strange. He could do the smart, handsome, doctor side of him, he could do the tortured side of him (mostly after he first gains his powers), he can do the funny-guy thing Marvel likes doing, and he can go full-out Sorcerer Supreme. I give this choice three thumbs up.

This would be very cool. He's a really selective actor though, so who knows if he'd take it?
