EW can exclusively reveal the role Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen is portraying in Marvel’s new superhero movie, Doctor Strange (out Nov. 4), which stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular surgeon-turned-sorcerer.
And the part is that of (cue: drum roll) chief baddie!
“Mads is playing our main villain,” says executive producer Stephen Broussard.

Mads is the bad guy. Look at how surprised I am. Shocked, even.
So I’m guessing it’s Mordo because of this:
‘”Mads’ character is a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect,” says the Marvel Studios boss. “[He] believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through.”’
