DR. STRANGE Script Turned in, Marvel looking for a Director

In my opinion Dr. Strange should be at the top of the list of films that Marvel needs to make. He's such a great character, and would make for an awesome live-action film. This movie has been trying to get to the big screen for years, Guillermo del Toro even expressed interest in directing it at one point.

Last year it was reported that Marvel hired Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Conan the Barbarian, Cowboys & Aliens) to write the script for the film which put Dr. Strange into actual development. We haven't heard much since then, but today it's being reported that the two writers have turned in their script, and now the studio is looking to attach a director to the film. There's no word on who any of these directors would be, but they have a short list, and the script is being sent out to them.  

I hope they bring on a solid director to take on this project. This could really turn out being a crappy film if put into the wrong hands. I wish Del Toro would still take it, but I don't think that's going to happen. If we can't have Del Toro, who would you like to see take it on? I think it would be great if they brought on a great upcoming filmmaker like Duncan Jones. Who would you like to see play Dr. Strange? Patrick Dempsey has expressed some interest, but I'm not so sure that he's got what it takes to play the role. I'm just excited that this project is moving forward!
