Artist Court Chu posted his work for Doctor Strange on his blog, The Art Blog of Court Chu, which reveals the interest in Gosling was very real for a point.
Despite director Scott Derrickson saying Cumberbatch was the only one seriously considered, some new (but old) concept art shows that at one stage Marvel was seriously considering Gosling – so much so that they commissioned concept art of Gosling in the cloak.
While Doctor Strange could not match the financial dominance of Captain America: Civil War, it was met with similarly great reception.
However, it is still interesting to think about Gosling in the role, and these photos make that a bit easier to do.
