Dr. Strange film gets director

[Operation:Mego]

Scott Derrickson tweeted that he would be directing the film. Other films he directed are Hellraiser: Inferno, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Sinister.

I like the idea of going with a director familiar with horror, but The Day the Earth Stood Still remake was boring.

I really hope that this could be the start of Marvel's dark side coming out. I do not want Dr. Strange being a member the Avengers. I would rather see this as the launch of Midnight Sons.

There is a fan clip that shows the potential of how the Midnight Sons could play on my site at the bottom of the page:

Midnight Sons

Disney/Marvel could have yet another movie series:

* Avengers titles
* Defenders (Heroes for Hire) series
* Space series
* Midnight Sons series

Jon Spaihts is reportedly in talks to re-write the screenplay, which will replace the previous version by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer.

And allegedly, Jared Leto, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy are still in the running for the lead role.

Hmmmm...Benedict Cumberbatch? That would be some casting and interesting to see him doing an American accent.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^That would be quite a coup for Marvel. He'd rock that role.

Tom Hardy?! God no.

I hope Derrick does better with Strange that Klaatu--that remake was wretched.
