Del Toro just cant stop himself.

Guillermo Del Toro, or the busiest man in Hollywood has been attached to yet another high profile and seriously cool movie prospect.

According to Empire, he is now looking in to doing a Dr. Stephen Strange movie. Now for the people not in the know Strange, or as he is often know as, The Sorcerer Supreme, is a Marvel character all about the mystic arts, such as magic and the supernatural. He is known for being flamboyant yet serious and he is definitely one of the A list when it comes to powers and abilities.

Here is a very exciting quote from the interview Empire did:

"I talked with Neil Gaiman [about writing it], I said, that’s an interesting character because you can definitely make him more in the pulpy occult detective/magician mould and formula than was done in the Weird Tales, for example...the idea of a character that really dabbles in the occult in a way that’s not X-Filey, where the supernatural is taken for granted. That’s interesting... But I wouldn't use the suit!"

Neil Gaiman (in the Marvel universe known for his re immagining of the characters in 1602, including a pivotal role for Strange) and Guillermo Del Toro on a Dr. Strange project, hot damn, that's some kind of dream pairing if I ever heard one.

But lets not forget that this guy is BUSY so it will be some time before we might see this actually get made.
