As mentioned earlier, Stranges arch-enemy, Baron Mordo, is confirmed as the villain of Doctor Strange and will be played by the commanding Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave). Mordo, a previous student of the Ancient One and foil to Strange, uses his magical powers to inflict horror. He boasts the same power set as his enemy, however Fire Control is replaced with Ice Control, so hes more like a possessive Walter White. But which villain could Mads Mikkelsen be playing? Theres three distinct possibilities from the good doctors rogues gallery. First is the dread Dormammu, an extra-dimensional warlord who, naturally, desires total domination of numerous realms. Dormammu (immortal, indestructible and ridiculously powerful) has a head like a lit matchstick (literally) and would look way too comfortable on the front of a Slayer album. However, because Marvel Studios seems to give birth to cinematic trilogies like Nadya Suleman gives birth to failed reality show paychecks, my moneys on Dormammu being reserved for the inevitable Doctor Strange 3. Then theres Asmodeus, formerly known as Dr Charles Benton, a colleague of pre-spiritual fingers Strange who was granted mystic powers. Bentons first appearance in the comics was when he asked Strange to do some charity work and Strange was not impressed, because charity is not profitable unless youre a corrupt Haitian government official. Benton eventually became the leader of a cult called the Sons of Satannish (who worshiped a being kind of Satan-ish, but different, yknow?). Finally, theres Yandroth, a techno-mage alien who, from hence forth, shall be dubbed Yandroth of the Eyebrows, because he looks like he is able to permanently do The Rocks eyebrow raise with both eyebrows at the same time. Seriously, the man reminds me of one of those douchebag NBA players who are sponsored by Nike and get the titular tick logo as a tattoo. Except Yandroth of the Eyebrows took it one step further and inked his forehead twice over.
