On the heels of rumors, or rather speculation, that Ethan Hawke is in contention to play the lead in Marvel's Doctor Strange adaptation, Deadline reports that talks with Joaquin Phoenix have come to an end. There is no specific reason given, but it's no secret that the three-time Oscar-nominated actor has been reluctant about signing on for blockbusters and franchises especially, having turned down the opportunity to play Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. And with Marvel, Joaquin Phoenix would more than likely be signing a multi-pic deal to play the Sorcerer Supreme. Nonetheless, after over two months of pursuing the Her actor, the studio is "already getting into it with other actors," reveals the source. As for who could be on Marvel Studios' radar now, actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, and Jared Leto were on the wishlist. Though the Ethan Hawke rumor has been debunked, he did express interest in the role recently.  Anyhow, Doctor Strange is directed by Scott Derrickson and is expected to hit theaters on July 8, 2016. What do you think?
