If there’s anyone qualified to play Stephen Strange pre-accident, it has to be Hugh Laurie. Strange is an arrogant, self-absorbed doctor. Ring any bells?

That doesn’t mean that Laurie wouldn’t be a good pick once the conversion to mystical hero is complete. His performance on House was much more than a narcissistic doctor. He’s shown great range and truly top-notch talent as an actor. Although much of his acting recently has been voice-over work, it’s time that Laurie made the transition into full-blown feature film star. Doctor Strange would be an excellent film for that to happen.

The look could easily be completed too. Slightly darker hair and a bit fuller of a beard and you’ve got a perfect Strange. His extremely proper manner would be great for the methodical nature of the character, yet he isn’t so uptight that he would look out of place dueling Mordo. All things considered, Laurie would be an excellent pick for Doctor Strange.
