Let’s play a new game here at The Movie Blog. It will be called WILD SPECULATION where we will make an observation based on an internet rumour or information of our own that we just wildly speculate on with no basis in reality.
Why? Well just in case we randomly guess right, we want to be the first to say it, or at least chime in on it when we think its wrong! Its really just about bragging rights and more accolades that will never be useful in the real world.
So today, I tripped over a bit of news from /Film about some unrelated media hot shots all gathering for lunch. And we all know in Hollywood “lets do lunch” means “lets talk about something we can work on together”. But sometimes its just lunch.
George Clooney was spotted pre-holidays in Hollywood having a business meeting with director Ridley Scott, and Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel
So the speculation that was presented by /Film was that this might have something to do with the yet to be cast role of Doctor Strange.
Did someone say they overheard them talking about Strange? Nope. Did /Film claim thats what this meeting was about? Not at all.
Just wild speculation here.
That all being said, I would LOVE to see Clooney as Doctor Strange. I think he has the charm and presence that he could pull off the Sorcerer Supreme. So I for one would love it if this were in fact the case.
But then maybe they were all just hungry.
