Marvel's 'Doctor Strange' Casting Rumors: 'Mad Men' Hunk Jon Hamm Wants To Play A 'Cool Character!' [Watch Video]

Names continue to thrown to be into the mix Marvel Studios starts Phase 3 of its Cinematic Universe. Will actor Jon Hamm, the hunky star of AMC's popular drama, Mad Men, take on the leading role of Doctor Strange?

As mentioned here, with Scott Derrickson (Sinister) being named director, the hunt continues to find the right leading man. We also mentioned here that there was a growing wish list of actors, with names such as Tom Hardy (Inception), Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek: Into Darkness), Academy Award winner Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club), included in the roster. There were rumors of Joaquin Phoenix (Walk The Line) being approached during the recent San Diego Comic-Con as well.

Now the The Town actor has been added to the list, but the thespian didn't even know about. While on promotion for his upcoming film, Million Dollar Arm, the TV star dishes to Digital Spy about the casting rumors. His agents and managers haven't been contacted about the role, but he definitely wants to be part of the project.

Watch the interview here:

Hamm blames the internet for the rumor mill, "It's funny when the internet knows more than you do. Maybe the internet has been talking to Marvel. I don't know."

The 30 Rock guest star is quite believable and hits the right age range as the surgeon-turned-sorcerer Stephen Strange. If we get rid of the cape, this writer thinks we have a winner here.

Just in case, the Marvel executives were listening in, the Mad Men star adds, "I certainly wasn't approached by it. But I would like to play Doctor Strange. He's a very cool character."

Million Dollar Arm hits theaters on August 29. . Readers, would you like to see Don Draper as the Doctor Strange?
