Has Ethan Hawke Been Cast as DOCTOR STRANGE?

The last we heard, Joaquin Phoenix was in final talks to be cast in the role of Doctor Strange in Marvel's upcoming film production. It looks like things may have changed if a new report from a site called This is Infamous is true. They claim that Ethan Hawke had actually been offered the part and that the actor also accepted the job. Here's what they say:

"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."

I have no idea if this is true or not, but it is definitely plausible. After all, Hawke worked with director Scott Derrickson on the horror movie Sinister. It would make sense that the two would want to work together again, and why can't it be on a film like Doctor Strange? I really hope that this true, because Hawke is an amazing actor who I think would fit perfectly in the role.

Until we receive some kind of confirmation, we'll treat this as a big fat rumor. But what do you think about the possibility of Hawke in the role of Strange? 

Doctor Strange is scheduled to start shooting next year and will be released in the summer of 2016.
