Joaquin Phoenix was the fan favorite to play the part of Dr. Strange in the upcoming Marvel Studios’ film.  Well not to be the breaker of hearts but Deadline just informed us that those talks have fallen through, which means Marvel is back on the hunt for its Dr. Strange! Other rumors of potential candidates have been Johnny Depp, Viggo Mortensen and even Jared Leto just to name a few!

Still no official release date for this film but sources (aka rumors) are saying the feature will land on July 8, 2016.

Doctor Strange is based on the character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, who made his first appearance in 1963′s “Strange Tales” #110. It follows the adventures of Stephen Strange (nodded at in this year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier), a brilliant neurosurgeon who, following a car accident, loses precision in his hands. His quest to regain his former skills sets Strange on a path to become the “Master of the Mystic Arts.”

With a script by Jon Spaihts, Doctor Strange is set to be directed by Sinister‘s Scott Derrickson.
