Joaquin Phoenix is reportedly in the final talks for playing the lead character in Marvel's upcoming movie 'Doctor Strange'.
According to Collider.com, the news was reported in mid-July that Phoenix was finally in negotiations to star in the film, but there still hasn't been any confirmation from Marvel's end.
