Leaked: Drew Goddard Says FU Doctor Strange; Tom Hardy Wanted As Sandman

Leaked: Drew Goddard Says FU Doctor Strange; Tom Hardy Wanted As Sandman

New e-mails as a result of the Sony hacks reveal information about the Sinister Six movie.

E-mails obtained by a Twitter user reveal director Drew Goddard communicating with the co-head of Sony Pictures, Amy Pascal.

Goddard apparently sent Pascal an e-mail following an article published on Deadline in regards to potential actors for Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange movie with Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch.

In the e-mail, Goddard writes as if Tom Hardy is playing Flint Marco, aka Sandman.

Goddard goes on to give Amy Pascal talking points as to why Sinister Six is better than Marvel’s Doctor Strange.

Goddard also apparently gives away the ending to the film as he writes, “What does Dr. Strange have? Magic tricks? f— you, magic tricks — we’ve got a skyscraper Tom Hardy knocking down buildings!!!!” 

It probably should be noted the e-mail was sent in July, so things regarding Sinister Six could be changed as obviously Tom Hardy is playing Rick Flagg for Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad movie in 2016.
