Dr. Strange is the Marvel Universe's "Master of the Mystic Arts," also called the Sorcerer Supreme, and while Stan Lee and Neil Gaiman have said that he is the character they'd most like to see on the big screen, other's worry that the character is "problematic."
But according to Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige, he's next in line.
"Very much so," Feige said. "I’d say in the next year, year and a half, as we start putting together our film slate for 2012 and 2013, I would not be shocked if we saw Dr. Strange on those lists. I love the idea of taping into the magical realm of the Marvel Universe, which is fairly significant and hasn’t yet seen life on screen.
"It’s something I’m very, very interested in," he emphasized.
When asked if the good doctor was a bit obscure to most movie-goers, Feige laughed. "I remember two years ago at Comic Con the cover of the ‘LA Times Calendar Section,’ read ‘Marvel calls out the B team’ and there was a picture of Iron Man. We don’t look at them as ‘B team.’ Dr. Strange? This is one of the best characters we have. [He represents] this amazing cosmic universe to Marvel that we haven’t played with in films yet and I think could be amazing to play with."

He must have stole Mr T's chains. Is that Mr. Kotter?
Kinda reminds me of the very first "Spider-Man" feature film... if you really want a good laugh, see if you can dig that one up somewhere. But be forewarned, it sucks like a black hole!
