Is Edgar Ramirez eyeing up Doctor Strange role?

June 24th, 2014 by Marc Comments

With everyone excited for the Doctor Strange movie, the speculation about who will be in it – actors and characters – is so much fun to get into.

Venezuelan actor Edgar Ramirez is currently doing the press circuit for his new movie Deliver Us From Evil, IGN caught up with him and asked if he the movie’s director Scott Derrickson had approached him about being in his next film, Marvel’s Doctor Strange: “We’re talking,” replied Ramirez, “we’ve been talking.”

But what role are they talking about? Well, he wouldn’t say but here at FTN better Doctor Strange experts than myself reckon he’d be a great Strange but could well be Strange’s arch-nemesis Baron Mordo (below).

Either way, we expect announcements very soon…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
