According to Latino Review (who is always absolutely on point with this stuff), Marvel is in serious internal discussion and they have decided on their man for Doctor Strange.

Joseph Gordon Levitt?
Sorry friends and neighbors, but insert “WAH WAHHHHH” horns in for me. What an uninspired choice for Marvel’s tier two anchor film. Don’t get me wrong – Levitt is indeed awesome, but Marvel has so far either reignited careers or out and out began them with their super hero casting, and this seems to be very safe and boring. Maybe they think that Strange is too obscure a title and therefor needs a big name career attached to the project? I still say “meh.”
