Speaking to IGN, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige addressed the rumors swirling around about the Doctor Strange movie. "Well, that article [from The Hollywood Reporter] was true that we're meeting a lot of people now," said Feige. "That article was not true about who we're meeting or what level anybody is. But we're actively looking." Feige was then asked, specifically, about the rumors that Johnny Depp had been approached to play Doctor Strange. "No, no," Feige said. "When you have a project that's been around as long as Doctor Strange, there is sometimes, 'Oh, I've met with Stan about this! Or I did that!' So Strange is one of those projects that predates me by a long shot. Obviously, the character does, but even in its cinematic brewing. So there's a lot of things that have happened before me, and I've been here 14 years. So that's a long time ago. I don't know if that happened then." So there it is. Yes, they are searching for their Doctor Strange and a filmmaker to helm the project, but no, they haven't talked to anyone who has been rumored so far. The Doctor Strange film will likely be part of phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
