RUMOR: Marvel Wants Ethan Hawke For DOCTOR STRANGE

Remember the website, ThisIsInfamous? No? They're the website that have previously claimed that Jon Hamm was close to signing on for Dr. Strange, and then it was Jack Huston and today their dart has landed on Ethan Hawke ("Daybreakers").

I have a feeling that in the future when I create a "Fact Vs. Fiction" article based on all of the Doctor Strange movie rumors I'll be putting everything from This Is Infamous into the fiction category. This website just doesn't know when to quit. While creditable sites are claiming Joaquin Phoenix ("The Master")
is still Marvel's top choice for the role of Doctor Stephen Strange, This Is Infamous has already claimed in a short period of time that Jon Hamm ("Mad Men") and Jack Huston ("Boardwalk Empire") were close to taking the part. Today, they have changed their tune once again and claim Marvel has offered the role to Training Day star Ethan Hawke.
 
After working their hardest to try to convince Joaquin Phoenix that he’s the right fit for DOCTOR STRANGE, it appears Marvel Studios has moved on after coming to terms with the fact that that marriage isn’t going to happen, and according to my sources, they’ve already found their long-term rebound. Ethan Hawke is their new guy, having offered him the role on Friday. I hear Hawke accepted the job over the weekend, and things have quickly progressed into contract talks, with a six-picture deal being what Marvel is hoping to lock him into. - This Is Infamous

Agree with @ Doopie. He's had some good roles. But just not seeing him as Strange.

If this is true, I called it over a month ago.

Hawke was in Derrickson's last movie Sinister.

He's perfect for the role.

WOW> this would be [frick]ing PERFECT way better than any of the previous choices. Hes been getting shit in movies this past decade and hes to awsome not to be in respected films. Hes almost going down the cuban gooding jr road . SO HERES HOPING HE GETS IT. he would be the perfect Dr strange. and I totally called it when it came to Joaquin Phoenix He would never do a super hero film. Hawke is open minded.

3 words:

Adam [frick]ing Goldberg.


You are all welcome. Should Marvel require further services from me in regards to casting I will require ridiculous shit of my choosing as compensation.

Ethan Hawke would be a [frick]ing great choice. And TBH, I can believe this story. If only because it has always been VERY unlikely that Phoenix would sign a multi-picture deal. And Hawke always seemed like the logical runner up should they not get whom they first offered it to.
