The good Doctor, Strange may materialize onto the big screen


Our favorite mystical mage could be making his well deserved screen debut. Some have reasoned that the magical nature of Doctor Strange may not jive in the current comic book movie world which has developed something of more realistic, dramatic production style. Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios production President, feels otherwise.
“Very much so,” Feige said. “I’d say in the next year, year and a half, as we start putting together our film slate for 2012 and 2013, I would not be shocked if we saw Dr. Strange on those lists. I love the idea of taping into the magical realm of the Marvel Universe, which is fairly significant and hasn’t yet seen life on screen.
In my own little circle, I've been lauding the merits of a Doctor Strange screen adaptation, and have berated those that claim that magic won't play, now. Hell, I want to see all of my favorite Marvel, DC, and overall comic book universe, characters make it to Hollywood, and the idea that some may be disqualified because their stories seem less plausible than a guy that sticks to walls, or a guy that builds a flying super-suit, or a team of humans born with special genes that allow them to, uuuum....I don't know, shoot frickin' laser beams from their eyes, or some such. Of course, lest we forget the guy that wears a bat-suit and drives around busting heads in a Hum-V on steroids. Just do it right and it will work. Just do it!

That was aggressive....huh.
