As expected, Hannibal's Mads Mikkelsen is playing Doctor Strange's big bad, but those of you who automatically assumed that he'll take on the role of Dormammu may want to hold your horses as the description given (you guessed it, Marvel once again refused to name him) sounds closer to a character like Dr Druid or possibly even someone as obscure and unknown as Amergin.
