Dr. Strange Attracts Director Guillermo Del Toro

---

A recent report states that Guillermo Del Toro is interested in taking Doctor Strange to the big screen and he would be looking to Neil Gaiman to write it.

Guillermo del Toro's interview with EmpireOnline brings up his desires for a Doctor Strange adaptation. He already has a writer in mind for the project and that is none other than Neil Gaiman; "I talked with Neil Gaiman [about writing it]," del Toro told EmpireOnline. "I said, that's an interesting character because you can definitely make him more in the pulpy occult detective/magician mold and formula than was done in the Weird Tales, for example."

The filmmaker continued, "The idea of a character that really dabbles in the occult in a way that's not X-Filey, where the supernatural is taken for granted. That's interesting."

Del Toro warned fans, though, "I wouldn't use the suit!"
