Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen is reportedly in talks to feature in the Scott Derrickson directed Doctor Strange that is set to be released next year. Part of Phase 3 of the Marvel Universe, Benedict Cumberbatch will play the titular role of Dr. Stephen Strange. (Source: Empire)

A new Scooby-Doo film will be hitting our screens in 2018.
