Marvel Studios has a full plate at the moment; ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’](Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) - Movie | Moviefone) and ‘Thor’](Thor (2011) - Movie | Moviefone) are set to release this summer, and work is already afoot on 2012’s ‘The Avengers’](The Avengers (2012) - Movie | Moviefone) and a third ‘Iron Man’ movie. That hasn’t stopped Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige from thinking about what comes after those titles, though, and in past interviews he’s returned to one lesser-known character time and time again: Dr. Strange.
The comic giant’s Sorcerer Supreme might not be a household name (at least not in households without extensive comic book collections), but there’s no doubt that could change if a film was made about the character – one featuring just the right actor. Enter Patrick Dempsey.
Dempsey, who’s one of television’s highest-paid stars thanks to his role on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ is eager to expand his artistic horizons, and he thinks donning the Marvel Magus’s cloak would be a step in the right direction. Based on looks alone, Dempsey could be on to something.
