The Question: After Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) strips Jonathan Pangborn (Benjamin Bratt) of his magical powers in the movie's post-credits scene, does he also kill him in order to conceal any evidence of his crusade to rid the universe of so many of its sorcerers?

The Likely Answer: Mordo may have begun his villainous turn at the end of the film, but straight-up murder honestly seems pretty out-of-character, even at this point.

Plus, Mordo is clearly so adamant that his methods are the correct ones that he probably doesn't care if Strange and others know what he's doing.

Then again, if Mordo doesn't kill Pangborn, what's stopping him attempting to re-aquire his powers? It's probably simpler to kill him off, though would seem a bit rushed in terms of Mordo's arc.

This is a tough one, but we're going with no. Left for dead or severely injured at best.
