15 Best Acted Scenes In MCU Movies

12. Kaecilius Post-Fight - Doctor Strange

 The Avengers Loki
Marvel Studios

Mads Mikkelsen was born to play villains – it’s worth establishing this right off the bat. His natural ability to play dark and brooding characters with just the right blend of menace and manners never fails to add that little extra something to the people he plays.

The role of Kaecilius in Doctor Strange is no exemption to this. Seeing a villain have a casual chat with a hero isn’t a super common occurrence – especially when said villain just lost a fight and is now caught in a trap – but with a villain played by Mads it seems almost par for the course. Sprinkle in a liberal amount of a completely bewildered Stephen Strange, and you have a truly brilliant scene on your hands.

Even when totally incapacitated, Mads still manages to sound both spooky and in control, which is no small feat for someone stuck in a full-body Chinese finger trap.
