    I thought Johnny Depp was hot to get that role?

    • FatSpartan says:

      I thought so too, but apparently he doesn’t fit the roll of a “Creepier” Doctor… Disney/Marvel are blind to something perfect here

    • Nope. Johnny Depp talked to Marvel many years ago, about what we do not know, but it went nowhere. He has literally nothing to do with Doctor Strange. Imo, fortunately so.

    I really don’t think Jared should play him… I think they should get Aidan Gillen from GoT
