Playing Saturday Night catch up on the stories that came out this week I didn’t get a chance to cover. Some of these may not be new to you but others may. Just clearing out my rss feed.
Another key character has been cast in the Dr. Strange movie. Michael Stuhlbarg has been cast to play Dr. Nicodemus West.
Dr West first appears in Dr Strange The Oath #1, which was reprinted recently for Halloween Comicfest (good timing on that.) There was also a, now, very desirable Black and White Variant

With almost a year until its release, Doctor Strange has already built an all star cast featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the eponymous hero, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One, and Rachel McAdams reportedly playing an iteration of Night Nurse. As the movie inches closer to production, another actor is close to joining the project. Steve Jobs” Michael Stuhlbarg is being looked at for a key role in Marvel’s magical 2016 entry.
Stuhlbarg is currently in negotiations to join the Sorcerer Supreme’s solo movie, which begins shooting next month in London. THR was the first to break the news, but shortly afterwards, Variety reported that Stuhlbarg is going play Nicodemus West, a “rival scientist of Strange.” Assuming that this character report is later verified by Marvel, this is a possible indicator that his adversarial relationship with Strange in later years will be used as inspiration for the movie.
