The Sorcerer Supreme Hero, will reach the big screen with the help of Director Scott Derrickson, who also directed Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005). Derrickson will be joined by John Spaihts as the writer, who also is responsible for the screenwriting for Prometheus (2012).

Rumors of MacLachlan's casting started when news broke that he'll be playing a character in the upcoming Marvel TV hit: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D named "The Doctor".

Considering the mystery surrounding this new actor rumored to play the role, it might be beneficial to Marvel in terms of gaining new followers and actually giving the actor the break he deserves.

When asked about the role of Stephen Stange A.K.A Doctor Strange in the Marvel Universe, Executive Kevin Feige answered: "Doctor Strange is, I believe, our entry point into that other realm, which has dozens of characters and storylines all of its own. " He also was quick to add that the Hero's film will be "very, very important" to Marvel's future. "[This is] a journey of a man who's gone from this very arrogant surgeon to somebody who is quite zen and literally keeps all of reality together on a daily basis, but it also is going to open up a whole other side of storytelling for our movies," he told source.

Update:

Jack Huston is the latest rumored choice to play Doctor Strange in the Kevin Feige directed movie. Huston has appeared in Boardwalk Empire, Factory Girl and last year's American Hustle.

The rumored release date for Doctor Strange is on July 8, 2016.
