This guy directed some scary ass films.

It's the guy who did sinister what an interesting choice

Holy shit, this movie will be perfect!

remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still?"....ugh

otherwise, I dig his horror resume, 'something new to introduce into the Marvel Studios universe.

So is Dr Strange actually going to use magic or is he going to use some psychics thingy ma-bober? I know they already established magic as an advanced form of science, but I'm still hoping for some actual magic to be used in the MCU. I mean look at Thor, the guy has no magic and his battles are rather boring in the MCU (excluding the battle at Jotunheim).

WOAHHH..interesting choice and here come the people who enver heard of him saying marvel hired another "yes man" director..sigh

Say wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

Lets get the McConaissance to play Stephen Strange. :)

DEUSEX-these are quotes from Feige about this film..he talked about this around when Winter Soldier was coming out..

Are you watching the Cosmos series? That’s magic, [the quantum physics]. It’s unbelievable. If somebody knew how to tap into that stuff, what’s the difference between that and magic?

You don’t get into it in Harry Potter, but if a scientist went to Hogwarts he’d find out how some of that stuff is happening! We’re not going to spend a lot of time on that, but there will be some of that. And particularly for a character like Strange, who goes from a man of science to a man of faith and who traverses both worlds. And sometimes there won’t be an answer! Sometimes he’ll want an answer - “How is this happening?!” - and nothing.

Doctor Strange also has to be weirder as a movie. The Marvel films have so far had something approaching a house style - even Winter Soldier, which has its own look, fits into the larger Marvel aesthetic. But Feige sees Doctor Strange being quite different.

“Doctor Strange needs to be a Ditko/Kubrick/Miyazaki/The Matrix mind-trip,” he said. With all the recent news about directors being courted for the film this is interesting - who will be able to deliver for Marvel the kind of mind-trip Feige wants while also making a movie that will hit a wide audience?

Dr Strange has a director before Ant-Man, funny.

Sinister was actually pretty good so im fine with this

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

This is the only one I've seen......which was great.

One thing with Marvel is that you can't base how well the film will be on a director's filmography.

JoJo1982 - I thought all Asgardian "Magic" is nothing more than advanced science. Also we're not sure what Scarlet Witch is using.

ezio619 - Ah thanks for that quotes and clarification!

Now go cast an up 'n comer...Huston would rock that role, be young enough to stay with it for a while too...

The Day the Earth Stood Still was a terrible movie but Marvel keeps the director on a pretty tight leash so this will probably be a good movie.
