5 Actors Who Could Play Doctor Strange

Joel Edgerton

An actor who is rapidly on the rise, Joel Edgerton has already been rumoured for the role of Strange, but of course there’s nothing anywhere near concrete. Word is at one point Marvel talked to him about the character, and the goal was a cameo in Thor: The Dark World.

If Marvel actually considered the guy, he’s worth taking a look at, but even without that rumour he’d be more than worthy of a place on this list. The man has proven time and time again to be a phenomenal actor, worthy of the praise that’s awarded to Hollywood’s elite. His performance in Warrior was outstanding, and he should be one of the real treats of The Great Gatsby. Hard to imagine that this is the same guy who once played Luke’s uncle in Star Wars.

A big problem with Edgerton is how busy he is at the moment. He’s in extremely high-demand, and may be working on his directorial debut, Weirdo. That being said, I don’t see him slowing down anytime soon, so if Marvel wants to bring him in, they better hurry up and do it. I’d hope he’d be willing to put something else on hold to star in a Marvel film, because if he did, fans would be blessed with a excellent mystical performance doing justice to Doctor Strange.

So those are my picks. What do you think of these choices for Doctor Strange? Is there someone you’d rather see in the role? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
