The Hollywood Reporter writes that 12 YEARS A SLAVE star Chiwetel Ejiofor is in discussions to join Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE film.
No word yet on which role he would play, opposite Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character.
Morgan Freeman, Billy Nighy, and Ken Watanabe are all reportedly in talks to take on the role of The Ancient One.
Scott Derrickson is set to helm the project from a script by Jon Spaihts. Doctor Strange was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko during the early 1960s.
