Yes, she is a great actress with very unusual and fascinating looks.

I still haven't seen that. I love Hiddles

An excellent film. They are both wonderful in it.

That film is something very special indeed. Everything about it is just perfect.

And coming back to Marvel: Although I like most of the Marvel movies anyway, I think it is a good sign when quality actors sign up for it. Because then you can be pretty sure that the film will not only be about action, but also about some intense character scenes with (hopefully) gripping dialogue. Tom's Loki is the best example.

I hadn't heard of that film, looked it up and it sounds awesome so I've reserved it at the library. Thanks for the rec

It wasn't even meant to be a real rec, but you're welcome.
It probably is one of Jarmusch's most mainstream movies, but he still manages to keep it strange and arcane... and Hiddles and Swinton are (and look) absolutely beautiful together.

Only Lovers Left Alive is a beautiful film and Tilda will be a wonderful addition to Doctor Strange, if she joins the cast. I enjoy the Marvel movies and would prefer to watch a decent reworking of a comic into film than to watch one of the often pointless and frequently inferior remakes that are being churned out at present (Mad Max: Fury Road an exception to this though).

An interesting note.

"The actress is negotiations to portray the Ancient One, the Tibetan mystic who is a mentor to Dr. Strange. "

Putting her in this role would be a gender switch but it's not like that's a problem for Tilda. I think she would be fantastic!

MORE NEWS!

Guess who else may be joining Benedict in the Marvel Universe!?!

Chiwetel Ejofor!

This is getting better and better...!
And I'd love that gender switch, to be honest. There should be as many women in those Marvel films as possible. Tilda could even take a bit of an androgynous road, she's done it in the past.

I am a big fan of the Marvel Universe and one reason I love the films so much is that they take their casting seriously. They cast for talent and not just muscle.

**Posted by Ivy** May 28, 2015 2:23 pm

Oh yes I knew about Chiwetel. Both are just "rumoured" at the moment, but it would be interesting.

I must say Doctor Strange looks very cool in the comics. A bit like Tony Stark, with that beard. I reckon BC will look extremely hot in that film.

Strange tweet about Dr. Strange. Will they start filming so soon?

**Posted by SusiGo** June 26, 2015 7:46 pm

This is very strange indeed. Pre-production yes, but more than four months before Benedict will be available?

**Posted by nakahara** June 26, 2015 7:50 pm

Dr. Strange by day, Hamlet by night? Bit exhausting, that....

**Posted by SusiGo** June 26, 2015 7:52 pm

And the nappy changing in between.

**Posted by Davina** June 27, 2015 8:57 am

'Making' involves a lot more than just filming the main character.
