From Iron Man to Black Panther, the list of superheroes is ever-growing, and the execs at Marvel are continuing to bring as many to live-action as possible. While some decisions for who will play a hero are easy, like Robert Downey Jr. perfectly cast as Tony Stark, other casting choices are not so simple. For example, there were over 10 actors considered for Spider-Man before Tom Holland was finally chosen. This is the case with many of the heroes within the MCU, including Doctor Stephen Strange.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --> With the release of <strong><em>Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em><\/strong> on its way, it\u2019s important for us to remember that the Doctor Strange we all know and love could have been portrayed by a different actor.

Gyllenhaal was on the shortlist for the role, but he didn&#8217;t make it very far in the casting process, with producers thinking him not to be a good fit. While this was yet another disappointment for Gyllenhaal, after he was almost cast to replace Tobey Maguire in <em>Spider-Man 2<\/em>, the actor went on to star in <em>Nocturnal Animals<\/em>. Gyllenhaal later joined the MCU in <em>Spider-Man: Far From Home<\/em>, portraying the character of Quentin Beck\/Mysterio.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"patrick-dempsey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Patrick_Dempsey\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">1 <\/span> Patrick Dempsey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:52.5%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/patrick-dempsey-enchanted.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/patrick-dempsey-enchanted.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/patrick-dempsey-enchanted.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/patrick-dempsey-enchanted.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"patrick-dempsey-enchanted\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/patrick-dempsey-enchanted.jpeg\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Disney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Most known for his role as Dr. Derek Shepherd AKA McDreamy in the long-running TV series <em>Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>, <strong>Patrick Dempsey<\/strong> has carved a name for himself in Hollywood that everyone recognizes. Before his run on the show came to an abrupt and emotional end, Dempsey was looking at getting back into films, as he had in the past, with a special interest in <em>Doctor Strange<\/em>. When discussing the potential of the project, Dempsey spoke about how great it would be to give the character a TV show, but Marvel had other ideas. Dempsey went on to star in the sequel to <em>Bridget Jones\u2019 Diary<\/em>, <em>Bridget Jones\u2019 Baby<\/em> in 2016 and is lined up to reprise his role in the <em>Enchanted <\/em>sequel <em>Disenchanted<\/em>, set to be released on Disney+ sometime in 2022.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #5! -->        <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4A494D75-CE94-4652-A11D-9F81E38FC545.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4A494D75-CE94-4652-A11D-9F81E38FC545.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Chthon Awakens Marvel\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Doctor Strange 2: Who is Chthon?\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61a7b8962992c-IMG_2536.jpeg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Jessica Brajer<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(134 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Started at MovieWeb in November of 2021.\n            <\/div>\n<p>                            More<br \/>\n                    From Jessica Brajer\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below the author! --><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
