Fleming doesn&#8217;t give us much more information than that, but the tone of the article makes it sound like the negotiations are close to being done. Will they be done by Marvel&#8217;s panel on Saturday? I&#8217;m leaning towards no.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second comic book film in a year that Phoenix was in talks to join in, having a rumored flirtation with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/12\/18\/and-the-latest-actor-linked-to-a-batman-vs-superman-villain-is-joaquin-phoenix\/\">joining <strong>Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/strong> in a villain role late last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix is a great actor, with three well-deserved Oscar nominations to his name as proof, so his name might be one of the few that could make people forget about Benedict Cumberbatch. But I&#8217;ll believe he&#8217;s signed on when Marvel announces it themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bleedingcool.com\/2014\/07\/25\/rumor-joaquin-phoenix-may-be-doctor-strange\/\">Bleeding Cool<\/a> adds that Phoenix was hitting Connecticut comic book shops last week, shopping for <em>Doctor Strange <\/em>related comics.
