    I want to hear a few less stories about the filmmakers and their "differences in vision" or whatever the euphemism of the day is before I get too sold on a project. I'm sure the final product will be toned down to one degree or another before it comes out. Hopefully enough makes it way through to be fun and interesting.

    Didn't they claim Antman would look different from other marvel factory films and it looked just the same?

    I'll believe it when I see it.

    He could do a cross between Doctor Who and Galactus.

    He looked like Mike Brady with a mustache. I was expecting to hear the Brady Bunch theme at any time.

    Mads Mikkelsen was my choice for Strange himself. I'd love to see him in this movie.

    Damn, if he joins the cast, too, this film will have an incredible amount of talent packed into it. I can't wait. :D

    Mikkelsen is awesome on Hannibal, I would love to see him in Dr. Strange.

    But they didn't confirm who she would be playing.

    Clea? Boring. Barely more than Property for the first 20 years.

    Morgana LeFay? Super Evil, super cool.

    Morgana Blessing? Another girlfriend sure, but this one is a Young Joan Collins superbitch novelist... I suppose that would make her a young Jackie Collins? Yes, yes it would.

    Umar? What? Clea's mother? What? I never put that together before. How odd. Basically Marvel's own Morganna Lefay, but with family ties to Strange, if Clea is put into the story.

    Deadgirl? Zombie girlfriend.

    Night Nurse? Secret hospital for metahumans running girlfriend.

    They've already kind of done the Night Nurse thing in Daredevils. They seem to be sticking with the most iconic supporting characters, so I have a feeling she'll probably be Clea.
    You mention Morgana LeFay, but I just skimmed through her Wikipedia page, and it never even mentions her having any association with Dr. Strange.

    Well, her wiki page does say she fought Dr. Strange several times in the comics, and she was apparently the villain in the 70s Doctor Strange TV movie, so there is a bit of a connection, although he doesn't seem to be one of her main opponents.

    The only reason that they don't interact much is that Morganna lives for the most part in the 1st millennia.

    Two cool things Bendis did.

    1. Dr. Doom is Morganna Lefay's boyfriend. He uses his time machine to go back to the 6th century and get some ass wheneverhe feels like he needs some.

    2. The Russian "teenage?" (comparable to however the #### old Kitty Pryde is.) Mutant teleporter Demon Sorceress sister of Colosuss, Illyanna Rasputin code named majik, has to go back in time 10 years (once or twice a week) from the present to be the student/aprentice of Doctor Strange in (marvel-time is stretchy) the 1980s, becuase the Avengers and X-Men don't get along so well anymore.

    :)

    Unfortunately Fantastic Four Characters are forbidden and X-Men characters are forbidden.

    Neither one of those things sounds cool to me. Was the theme from Disney's "Small World" playing when he came up with those?

    I'm way more girly than you are. Thank your lucky stars.

    I must have missed the stuff about him on her Wikipedia page while I was skimming it.
