Marvel is actively gearing up for Phase Three Cinematic Universe as they have reportedly been very busy preparing to film Doctor Strange.

According to Marvel Studios president, Kevin Feige, himself, the film about the great Sorcerer Supreme will bring interesting changes to Marvel Cinematic Universe, According to an article by Digital Spy.

"I believe it's very, very important for us to explore every nook and cranny of the comic-book universe," Total Film reported during CineEurope event.

"We've done the street-level heroes, and we've done the billionaire superheroes. We've now done the cosmic side with Thor and Avengers and most obviously with [Guardians of the Galaxy}, but there's a whole other side of the Marvel comics, which is that supernatural side - the interdimensional side of the Marvel universe.

"Doctor Strange is, I believe, our entry point into that other realm, which has dozens of characters and storylines all of its own."

He continued saying that the Sorcerer Supreme's film is "very, very important" to Marvel's future.

"[This is] a journey of a man who's gone from this very arrogant surgeon to somebody who is quite zen and literally keeps all of reality together on a daily basis, but it also is going to open up a whole other side of storytelling for our movies," he expounded.

More importantly Marvel's big man suggests that the casting for the movie will start "in the next month or two."

It is most likely that Marvel Doctor Strange will start filming this fall, now that they have found a director to helm the film and news came in that execs have shortlisted actors who could play the "Sorcerer Supreme."

"My next movie will be STRANGE," Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Exorcism of Emily Rose) tweeted along with his photo reading an early issue of Doctor Strange comic book.

In the wake of the recent development of the planned Marvel Doctor Strange project, Deadline.com reports that fan favorites "Hobbit: Battle Of Five Armies" smaug Benedict Cumberbatch and "The Dark Knight Rises" star Tom Hardy are both being eyed to play the titular role.
