Last week we reported that Marvel
had meetings with directors Mark Andrews (Pixar’s Brave), Jonathan Levine (Warm
Bodies), Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair), and newcomer Dean Israelite (Welcome
to Yesterday) about the big screen adaptation of Dr. Strange. Now, Marvel
Studios President Kevin Feige says that HV’s report was accurate, but not entirely.
"Well, that article was true
that we're meeting a lot of people now," Feige told IGN. "That article
was not true about who we're meeting or what level anybody is. But we're
actively looking….We always look at a wide range of people with a wide range of
backgrounds. There's only one criteria: do something that we think is really
cool. [Laughs] That's about it."
When asked if they would cast a
movie star or a new actor for the lead, Feige replied:
"You know, I would say that
we're pretty transparent, right? Doctor Strange would be our — well, depending
on when we make it, it could be our 13th, 14th, 15th movie, right? I think if
you're looking to track our decision-making and how we've done things, we have
a pretty wide track record now where you can sort of see. So, no, a movie star
is not required, but that doesn't mean a movie star wouldn't be great. It just
depends."
Feige then talked about the
reaction to last week’s trailer for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy.
"I was very pleased with it,
because it's still early days for us, as the movie is coalescing and
formulating itself in the cutting room, but there are a few things that we
would be locked into: the cast, their looks, our use of music and our very
unique tone. The fact that that's what that teaser is about and that's what
people are embracing, there are a lot of happy people in the offices, that
people are into this."
