He may not be a well known actor but to Marvel President Kevin Faige, it does not matter at all. IGN interviewed Kevin Faige if Johnny Depp has been tapped to play the role of Doctor Strange. He replied, "A movie star is not required, but that doesn't mean a movie star wouldn't be great. It just depends."

Based on Mr. Faige's statement, it seems that the role of Doctor Strange has not yet been filled up. It's anybody's guess of who will play the role.
