10 Off Screen MCU Moments We All Want To See
4. Mordo Tries To Kill Strange... A Lot - Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
The first Doctor Strange concluded with the revelation that the villainous Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) was effectively plotting to purge Sorcerers on Earth, with the implication being that he was coming for Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) too.
Mordo reappears in the recent Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, albeit not quite how anyone expected. The version of Mordo in the film is a Sorcerer Supreme from the alt-universe Earth-838, while the Mordo from Strange Prime's own universe is never actually seen.
However, Strange does make a comment about the original Mordo having "dedicated his life" to trying to assassinate him ever since we last saw him, with all of these attempts evidently being unsuccessful.
Considering the apparent gravity of Mordo's heel turn in the first film's post-credits scene, it is a bit of a copout that this still hasn't been properly followed up almost six years later.
A montage showing off Mordo's various botched attempts to kill Strange in a multitude of wacky scenarios could've been insanely fun, but with credible rumours suggesting that a scrapped scene saw Mordo being executed by Wanda at the start of the sequel, we may never see the original Mordo again.
