Yes, the part is still up for grabs, despite being attributed to many men in Hollywood

Here is another “Dr. Strange” casting rumor, since we didn't get one of those in quite some time. The main part of this new comic book super hero film hasn't been cast yet and it seems that the producers are still looking for that perfect actor. This time they're looking at Jack Huston, known as the guy with half a face from “Boardwalk Empire.”

The news comes from website Thisisinfamous, which is claiming that Huston is now a forerunner for the part, but since no one else is reporting on the same news, it's safe to say you shouldn't count the role as definitive yet.

After all, the Dr. Strange part has been thrown around so many times, it's gotten very hard to keep track of all the actors that were nominated. Some of them were big names too, like Tom Hardy, Jared Leto, Joaquin Phoenix, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jon Hamm. Some of them have denied the casting news, others have chosen to remain silent.

Right now, the “Dr. Strange” role remains strangely unattached, but it's been mentioned that Marvel has big plans for the movie, which might explain why they're taking such a long time giving the role to someone. Director Kevin Feige said that the film would be “the doorway” to the supernatural side of the cinematic Marvel Universe.
