The director for the upcoming Doctor Strange was announced today.
Director Scott Derrickson announced his involvement with a tweet showing him holding a Doctor Strange comic. Derrickson is most well-known for The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister, and The Day the Earth Stood Still. He also directed Deliver Us From Evil, which will be released July 2.
Almost no information has been revealed about Doctor Strange, including a release date. However, Marvel has two placeholder dates available for upcoming films, one of which could be taken by Doctor Strange. These dates are July 8, 2016 and May 5, 2017.
Having a director is great, but now we want to find out who will play the good doctor. We will include more information about Doctor Strange as it becomes available.
