Joaquin Phoenix to Star as Marvel’s Dr. Strange
- 1. Joaquin Phoenix to Star as Marvel’s Dr. Strange! ! It might seem strange that the last 25 movies you’ve seen him in have been closer to the indie genre than the bigger budget Hollywood films… especially of the Superhero or Blockbuster variety. Well, ok. Fine. Some of those “indie” movies are the highest grossing or most impressive of their kind (Her, The Master). Regardless, to seduce such a star, this type of star, is to traverse a decidedly difficult path. So job well done?! ! NEGOTIATIONS WITH JOAQUIN PHOENIX! ! The journey isn’t over yet. Joaquin Phoenix has been selected by Marvel and has been in negotiations with them that are past the point of an initial offer. While this does not guarantee Phoenix will play in the role, it points him as the number one contender for the part.! ! Just this week, Benedict Cumberpatch, who played in Star Trek: Into Darkness, and The Hobbit movies, was also a consideration for the part has released a statement saying he will not be taking the part. This leaves us with Joaquin as the main contender and leading choice of Disney’s Marvel studio.! ! It can be argued that Joaquin hasn’t had a blockbuster role since playing Commodus in Gladiator (2000). However, Phoenix was considered for the part of Lex Luthor in the new Batman vs. Superman movie. The part was later given to Jesse Eisenberg, the star of The Social Network. Whether Marvel is making a social comment by casting the actor made famous playing Mark Zuckerberg as the leader of an all powerful tech company ! and evil empire… are yet to be seen. But don’t ignore his association with that rule.! ! DR. STRANGE BACKGROUND! ! For those of you who don’t know Dr. Strange, he is a Marvel hero (not the D.C. Batman villain Dr. Hugo Strange) and neurosurgeon who protects earth and humans as the Sorcerer Supreme, guardian of earth. The background of the character is that his hands are rendered useless in a car accident, and he undergoes some supernatural transformation to use them again. Additionally, Dr. Strange’s girlfriend in the comic drowns, giving him a troubled background. This could be a relatable point for actor Joaquin Phoenix, as he too lost his brother at a young age.
