The Rundown: Could Jared Leto Play Doctor Strange?, George Perez Talks “Sirens”, and more

Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at either david@multiversitycomics.com or brian@multiversitycomics.com.

– Could Jared Leto be playing Doctor Strange in the upcoming film of the same name? Badass Digest seems to think Marvel is interested in him for the role, and honestly, he wouldn’t be bad. Would he be one of my first ten picks? Probably not. But Leto’s actually a good actor (hello, Oscar win!), and there are far worse people that could be cast for the role. We’ll see who ends up getting cast for the role, however.

– George Perez talks to CBR about his upcoming six-issue mini-series at Boom!, titled “George Perez’s Sirens”, and you should read the interview because George Perez is the best and he deserves your love, ya scrubby bastards.

– Dave Sim deals with pirates of “Cerebus” in the most awesome of ways, and in the process confirms he primarily uses fax to communicate, which pretty much blows my mind.

– Buddy Loans created an infographic sharing the richest “superheroes” in the world (at least part of the list are villains, but you know), and it’s an entertaining read that – unsurprisingly, when you think of it – proves that Black Panther is the richest of them all. Gotta get some of that Vibranium, yo.

– Artist supreme Alison Sampson joins Jim Viscardi in this week’s edition of “Let’s Talk Comics.” Download and enjoy, my friends.

– Joshua Rivera looks at how to be a comics fan when you can barely afford them, and it’s a pretty good read.
