\"ethan-hawke\"<\/a>What was it that Andy Warhol said? Every middle-aged actor in Hollywood will be in the running to play Doctor Strange for 15 minutes?<\/p>\n

Well, it’s just about time for another name to be thrown in the ring, and that name appears to be Ethan Hawke.<\/p>\n

This Is Infamous<\/a>, the website that also told us both Joaquin Phoenix and Jon Hamm were up for the role, is going all in on Hawke as Doctor Strange. They claim that Marvel has already made an offer to the actor on Friday, the actor accepted over the weekend and now it just comes down to contract negotiations. According to the site, Hawke is signing on for a six-picture deal, so expect him to pop up in other films if this casting rumor is true.<\/p>\n

Hawke does appear to have the quality-acting-to-salary-cost that Marvel looks for. He is an Academy Award nominated actor (Best Supporting, for Training Day), yet has a remarkable number of low budget and B-movies on his resume, which lends itself to the fact that he works relatively cheap.<\/p>\n

Another positive check mark for this rumor is the fact that Hawke played the lead in Doctor Strange <\/strong>director Scott Derrickson’s 2012 film, Sinister,\u00a0<\/strong>a connection that the site says played a big part in the hiring decision.<\/p>\n

I guess time will tell if this is true, but you can say one thing, Hawke certainly looks the part.<\/p>\n
