With the regular inclusion of Marvel Studios after-credit Easter eggs, fan speculation runs the gamut of probability, occasionally coming to fruition and sometimes falling flat as nothing but media hoax. In the latest little birdy tidbit, Roger Wardell, a proven reliable Marvel insider, claims Marvel is in negotiations with the King of Gondor, Viggo Mortensen (LINK). In a somewhat cryptic tweet addressing a shadowed inclusion to supposedly be featured in Thor: The Dark World, he emphasizes “strange,” possibly winking at a cameo inclusion of one of the few undone Marvel mainstays, Dr. Strange, played by the Middle-Earth ranger. He is Viggo! The one-time surgeon turned sorcerer supreme first appear in 1963’s Strange Tales #110, his origin mysteriously left unknown until five issues later. Rooted within the mystic arts and eastern occultism, Stephen Strange would go on to battle Lovecraftian demons and otherworldly entities with his dark magic trickery in less super-heroic and more psychedelic Ditko drawn high fantasy adventures. Needless to say, it’s not far fetched to think he could astral project his way into the mythological cross-dimensional Asgard, nor is Viggo Mortensen a stranger to comic book or fantasy movies, preforming in A History of Violence and the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy. Will this hail the return of the king and be the opening act for the long-time in development Dr. Strange solo film or prove to just be a bogus Hogwarts flunky fortune? You’ll just have to gaze into your crystal ball to find out.
