‘Doctor Strange’ Gets Screenwriters

Marvel Studios has hired Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Cowboys & Aliens) to pen the script for the upcoming film adaptation of ‘Doctor Strange’. The film could well be the first Marvel film distributed through Disney following the studio’s acquisition of Marvel in December.

In the Marvel Universe, Dr. Stephen Strange is a master of mystical powers who battles a host of supernatural foes including his archnemesis Dormammu. He was briefly a member of the New Avengers.
