MCU: Every Phase 3 Main Villain Ranked From Worst To Best
9. Kaecilius
When the villain for Doctor Strange was announced, there was some surprise. A somewhat minor character in the comics when compared to other beings the Sorcerer Supreme has battled, Kaecilius mainly acted as a minion of Baron Mordo rather than a villain in his own right. Much less a main antagonist.
Though portrayed well by the incredibly talented Mads Mikkelsen, Kaecilius lacked a lot of what makes most of Phase Three's other villains so great.
With the reveal of Dormammu at the end of the movie, we see that Kaecilius was almost just a bridge to get to the cosmic entity, rather than a real threat to Doctor Strange on his own. This is a shame as it feels like a waste of Mikkelsen's talents - a man who would have been a much better fit for Doctor Doom in the MCU, rather than Kaecilius.
After Scott Derrickson's tease of villains in the sequel not from this universe, hopefully we will see a much better antagonist in the Multiverse of Madness.
