Even his remake of <strong>The Day The Earth Stood<\/strong> <strong>Still<\/strong>, which failed to make its budget back domestically, made over $233 million world wide. Surely this played a role in Marvel&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jared-leto.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-33881\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jared-leto-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"jared-leto\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150325103059\/http:\/\/badassdigest.com\/2014\/06\/03\/scott-derrickson-is-probably-directing-dr.-strange\/\">Badass Digest&#8217;s<\/a> Devin Faraci adds that Derrickson will also take a pass at the script, as he is wont to do on films he directs. Faraci also states that newly-minted Oscar winner Jared Leto is the latest name on Marvel&#8217;s wish list to play the good doctor, a move he doesn&#8217;t act kindly to.<\/p>\n<p>I am not familiar with Derrickson work, but he seems to be a fan. And Leto is riding high on a lot of buzz right now, and even if he rubs you the wrong way, he&#8217;s an actor that takes every role he&#8217;s cast in seriously.<\/p>\n<p>So far we know that <strong>Ant-Man<\/strong> is set for a July 31, 2015 release, with <strong>Captain America 3<\/strong> following on May 6, 2016. As of now Marvel have July 8, 2016 and May 5, 2017 staked out for as yet unannounced films and conceivably <strong>Dr. Strange<\/strong> could slide into one of these berths easily. Judging by how their previous two phases have unfolded, I would guess that 2017 will see one more film and early 2018 will give us the third <strong>Avengers<\/strong> film. With <strong>Dr. Strange<\/strong> now slated for one of those three spots, speculation will begin as to what characters will take the other two spots, as they will probably be needed to help set elements involving intergalactic villain Thanos for his expected appearance in <strong>Avengers 3<\/strong>. Will it be sequels to <strong>Thor<\/strong> and <strong>Guardians Of The Galaxy<\/strong>, or new characters such as The Inhumans or Black Panther? I believe we&#8217;ll find out a lot in several weeks at San Diego Comic Con.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DrStrange.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DrStrange.jpg\" alt=\"DrStrange\" width=\"550\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DrStrange.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/DrStrange-300x136.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">It hasn&#8217;t been formally announced as part of Phase III, yet development has picked up on the Sorcerer Supreme&#8217;s film.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2014\/06\/03\/scott-derrickson-dr-strange\/\" title=\"Movement On DOCTOR STRANGE&#8211;Derrickson As Director, Leto Possibly As Lead\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[106],"tags":[849,1798,289,602],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-33875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-comicsandfilm","7":"tag-dr-strange","8":"tag-jared-leto","9":"tag-marvel","10":"tag-scott-derrickson"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2,4],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33875\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33875"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=33875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
