16 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Characters To Look Out For In 2016
4. Baron Mordo
Who's Playing Him? Chiwetel Ejiofor. Who's Chiwetel Ejiofor? A film, TV, and theater actor whose notable big screen credits include roles in Spielberg's Amistad, 2003's Love Actually, John Singleton's Four Brothers, Joss Whedon's Serenity, Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men, Roland Emmerich's 2012, Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave, and Ridley Scott's American Gangster and The Martian. What's He Appearing In? Doctor Strange. Why You Should Be Excited: Seeing the conflict between Baron Mordo and Doctor Strange finally brought to life on the big screen is enough to get worked up about, but the casting of the excellent Ejiofor has already elevated the excitement to the next level. Mordo is one of those villains who should be destined to recur throughout the MCU, with the strength of his abilities and willingness to do whatever he has to do to get what he wants paving the way for a long-term, potential redemptive arc - similar to the comics - in which he can finally mend fences with and sacrifice himself for his archenemy.
