DOCTOR STRANGE Adds Actor Chiwetel Ejiofor as BARON MORDO


Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE cast just got a little bigger as Deadline reports actor Chiwetel Ejiofor has been cast as Baron Mordo. Ejiofor is best known for his Oscar nominated role in 12 Years a Slave.

If you're not familiar with Baron Mordo in the comics he is alongside Stephen Strange as they are both apprentices vying for the Ancient One to choose one of them to be the next Master of the Mystic Arts. Strange is chosen and Mordo is not happy about that choice and he turns villain. It is not known if Ejiofor will play a similar role in the movie.

Actor Benedict Cumberbatch has already been confirmed, by Marvel, as Doctor Strange and it has been previously reported that Tilda Swinton has been cast in the role of the Ancient One.
