The director of the first Doctor Strange movie is opening up about almost casting Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role.
The actor had been in early talks to bring the Marvel character to life, but months later it was revealed those talks were “dead.”
Of course, the role ended up going to Benedict Cumberbatch, who director Scott Derrickson was his first choice and he met with other actors after not thinking he would be able to get him.
Now, after Doctor Strange’s two solo movies and several appearances in the MCU, Scott is revealing why Joaquin never landed the role.

Dua Lipa‘s third studio album has arrived!
Radical Optimism is packed with hits like “Illusion,” “Training Season,” and “Houdini,” as well as eight more tracks.
“I wrote this album during my singledom,” Dua said in a statement. “I always came into the studio with some funny story, and they all inspired different songs. There’s a looseness and an honesty that I hadn’t had before.”
Dua describes Radical Optimism as “psychedelic pop” noting that “there are musical breaks and a mix of different sounds, and when you listen to it with your eyes closed, it opens up a very visual world.”
You can catch Dua performing her new songs on Saturday Night Live when she pulls double duty as host and musical guest on Saturday, May 4.
