RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Ben Thomas]

Surely no-one who's opinion counts gets excited by the words Tom Welling, do they? He's an average actor and an average pretty face. End. Of. Story.

[FilmNerdJamie]

There will always be those obsessed fans for just about any actor who's headlined a big genre movie or television series.

Hugh Laurie should be Dr. Strange, not some young kid.

I say that because Dr. Strange is supposed to be an arrogant surgeon (House?) at the beginning of his origin. Laurie could pull off the first act with relative ease and then transition into a hero over the rest of the film. He's also at the right age for the part, more or less.

[Bobby Bear]

How has Powers Boothe not already been offered Doctor Strange?

On a related note, if a Doctor Strange movie hits, I hope I'm not the only one who wants to see Milo Ventimiglia star in The Young Doctor Strange Chronicles on TV.

[FilmNerdJamie]

And before anyone pipes in...NO! *Rolls up newspaper and begins hitting everyone in sight!*

Not interested in Johnny Depp as Dr. Strange.

[Matt]

Just think of the demo that you'd pull in with a Hugh Laurie 'Dr. Strange' movie. You'd get the Marvel fanboys and you'd get the 'House' crowd, which encompasses a fairly diverse demographic (from what I understand).

Oh, and I see the Internet nerdgasmed at those pictures of a big gaping hole full of Hi-C Ecto-Cooler from The Dark Knight Rises set. Meh.

[Captain Russ]

Unless it's a picture of Ra's laughing like a fucking madman over the corpse of Bat Eastwood, I can't be arsed to care.

But I nerdgasm over the dream of the return of Ecto-Cooler all the time.

Fuckin' Hi-C prudes.

[FilmNerdJamie]

But I nerdgasm over the dream of the return of Ecto-Cooler all the time.

The sole good thing to come from a hypothetical Ghostbusters 3.

Cloak & Dagger? Considering Cloak is African-American and Dagger's a white girl, no way is Welling gonna be the lead here. He's also way too young to pull off Dr. Strange. They mentioned Deathlok which would be far more interesting to see him do.

Villain of the piece for Cloak and Dagger. A character created for the show.

For The Avengers, he was supposed to be reading for Hank Pym and Wendell Vaughn. Both characters didn't make it to the filming script.

[Matt]

Please God tell me that GB3 is dead.

[FilmNerdJamie]

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?

Oh, that's right. You have good taste, Matt.

[BillyG]

You know, there is a Hi-C that is Ecto-Cooler in all but name. I will leave you all to Google. Hint: Go to X-E.

[FilmNerdJamie]

So Universal isn't giving up on The Dark Tower? Well with this down time, I guess this would open up things for Javier Bardem to take that Bond (2)3 offer or, dare I say, why not him as Luthor in The Man of Steel?

[B_Metal]

Someone needs to tell them that Superman has other villains.
