16 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Characters To Look Out For In 2016
8. Mads Mikkelsen's Character
Who's Playing Him? Mads Mikkelsen, of course. Who's Mads Mikkelsen? Aside from gifting the world with his recent take as Hannibal Lecter on three seasons of NBC's Hannibal, he's appeared in films including Casino Royale, the Clash of the Titans remake, and the acclaimed The Hunt. He's also starring in Rogue One, the Star Wars anthology film, just a few weeks after his first appearance in the MCU. What's He Appearing In? Doctor Strange. Why You Should Be Excited: Because it's Mads Mikkelsen! The actor missed out on playing Malekith in Thor: The Dark World - most definitely for the best, considering how wasted the role ended up being in the film - but hopefully his role in Doctor Strange can really capitalize on the actor's strengths. At this point, many are speculating he'll be playing a major villain like Dormammu or Mephisto, and one couldn't ask for someone better to bring either one to life. Whoever he plays, hopefully Marvel won't slim down the role like they did with Malekith, and leave the door open for him to come back to the role for years to come.
