In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Hellboy director, Guillermo Del Toro, revealed that he wants to make a Dr. Strange movie. He’s even gone as far as talking to Neil Gaiman about writing it.

“I talked with Neil Gaiman [about writing it],” he tells us. “I said, that’s an interesting character because you can definitely make him more in the pulpy occult detective/magician mould and formula than was done in the Weird Tales, for example…the idea of a character that really dabbles in the occult in a way that’s not X-Filey, where the supernatural is taken for granted. That’s interesting…But I wouldn’t use the suit!”

Comic book geeks will remember, of course, that Dr Strange played quite an important role in Gaiman’s Elizabethan twist on the Marvel universe, 1602, making him a good choice of screenwriter for this. Of course, the Hellboy 2 director has a ton of projects on his dance card before he can think about getting to this.

So who would play the good doctor?
