If it were made 10 years ago, maybe Tcheky Karyo would have been a fine Dr. Strange. Depp would subvert the role a little too much, the whole "Strange" thing is precarious enough without his comic undercurrent destroying any hope of a suspension of disbelief.
I think Josh Hartnett might make a good Strange, solid actor has the build to play someone equally at home in a library and in battle.
Hope they do something to change the origins and make it less naff though.

I think that Johnny Depp would be perfect for Dr. Strange.
God, it would be another Gothic camp fest if Tim Burton joined him, or gonzo actioner if Depp recruited Gore Verbinski. Let's spare ourselves the trouble by saying no to the about-to-turn-50 year old Depp.
Don't see how this is happening anytime soon, with Marvel Studios announcing their slate of films right to the end of 2015.
Or maybe Dr. Strange will appear somewhere else first where it makes sense. Say...Thor: The Dark World? 😉
So apparently, this is being made:
