Chiwetel Ejiofor may be joining the Marvel universe. The Oscar-nominated actor is in talks to star in the upcoming Dr. Strange film, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The superhero movie, slated for release in 2016, will star Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role. 
Ejiofor is in negotiations for an "unspecified role," with fans already speculating which part he could play. (Brother Voodoo is one popular guess.)
If Ejiofor does join the cast, he'll be reunited with his 12 Years a Slave co-star Cumberbatch.
Dr. Strange is slated for a November 4, 2016, release.
