Jon Hamm dismisses Doctor Strange rumors
Actor Jon Hamm has dismissed rumors he is in the running to take on the role of Doctor Strange in the in an upcoming Marvel film.
Reports suggesting the Mad Men star is being considered to play the superhero recently surfaced, but Hamm insists he has not been approached about the part.
He tells Digitalspy.com, "The funny thing about the internet is you
can have rumors go on about possible jobs, and possible things that
you have no idea (about).
"Maybe, I don't know. It's funny when the internet knows more about
you than you do, but maybe they've been talking to someone at
Marvel. I certainly wasn't approached about it, but I do like Dr.
Strange. He's a cool character."
Doctor Strange, which follows the fortunes of a former neurosurgeon
who becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, will be directed by The Exorcism
of Emily Rose filmmaker Scott Derrickson.
