Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor is believed to be the latest actor to be linked to the role of Doctor Strange.

Joaquin Phoenix was the favourite to land the role in the upcoming Marvel film, but talks between the actor and the studio stalled earlier this month.

Now Badass Digest are reporting the McGregor is one of the latest names in the mix for the role.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy were a couple of other high profile actors who are rumoured to also be being considered for the role.

Doctor Strange is one of the new Marvel franchises on the horizon and will see Scott Derrickson in the director's chair.

Derrickson has been behind films such as The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister, and Deliver Us From Evil in recent years, but this would be the biggest film of his directing career.

As for McGregor, we are going to see plenty of him over the next year, with Born To Be King, Jane Got A Gun, Last Days in the Desert, and Mortdecai are all set for release.

The actor is currently filming Miles Ahead, which is the biopic about Miles Davis.

Don Cheadle will make his directorial debut with the project and will take on the role of Davis.

Doctor Strange is set to hit the big screen in the U.S. on 8th July, 2016.
