So far the only Phase Three film that
Marvel has announced is director Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man, which is slated to
premiere after Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. It isn’t a secret that Marvel
has “plans” for at least 2021 and what also isn’t a secret is that Marvel Studios
President Kevin Feige has been “pushing” for the Doctor Strange sorcerer supreme
film to get made.
According to HV, Marvel has met
with a number of directors to decide who might be walking over untested grounds
with a character not based on cience like all Marvel movies but on magic. So
according to the site Marvel has met with Mark Andrews (Pixar’s Brave),
Jonathan Levine (Warm Bodies), Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair), and newcomer
Dean Israelite (Welcome to Yesterday).
Kung Fu Panda scribes Jon Aibel and Glenn Berger are also apparently in
the mix to pen the screenplay as Marvel seems keen on having either a
writer/director team or a director that can handle both tasks.
Joshua Oppenheimer and Thomas
Dean Donnelly have previously written a draft for Doctor Strange but at this
time it’s unclear what if any of the story will survive once a director has
been assigned.
But let’s not forget that Marvel already
sort of announced the development of a third Thor and Captain America movies,
which the studio must be hopping to get of the ground before the Avengers fight
off Thanos in Avengers 3.
Doctor
Strange Bio Via Marvel:
Circa 1963, [Dr. Stephen Strange]
was in a car accident that severely damaged the nerves in his hands, ending his
surgical career. Too vain to accept positions as a consultant or assistant,
Strange sought a cure and pursued every available treatment, legitimate or not,
soon depleting his fortune; in months he was reduced to a derelict, performing
shady medical procedures that barely paid his bar tabs. After hearing rumors of
the mystical Ancient One, a desperate Strange pawned his last possessions for a
ticket to the East and found the Ancient One’s Tibetan palace. At first annoyed
when the Ancient One refused to cure him, Strange was later astonished to see
the sorcerer attacked by mystic forces.
Upon learning that the Ancient
One was Earth’s magical defender and that the attack on him came from his pupil
Mordo, Strange tried to warn him, but Mordo mystically prevented Strange from
doing so. For the sake of the Ancient One and the world, Strange acted
unselfishly for the first time in years, vowing to learn magic himself so he
could counter Mordo and his ilk. He offered himself as a disciple to the
Ancient One, who accepted, having known of Mordo’s treachery all along. The
Ancient One spent years instructing Strange in the art of sorcery, teaching him
how to tap the innate mystic powers of both himself and the world around him,
as well as how to invoke the power of awesome entities, or Principalities, who
resided in their own realms, most notably the three benign beings known as the
Vishanti.
