Entertainment Weekly is going all-in today with their DOCTOR STRANGE coverage as they've already revealed the first look at actor Benedict Cumberbatch in full hero costume and released a bunch of images for the Marvel Studios films.
Now, EW has revealed that actor Mads Mikkelsen is playing the movie's main villain.
“Mads is playing our main villain,” executive producer Stephen Broussard said.
Mads’ character is a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect,” Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said. “[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."
However, who Mikkelsen is playing in DOCTOR STRANGE is still being kept a secret.
“I’ve seen lots of names thrown around,” Broussard said. “No one has quite picked the name that we’ve chosen for him. It would be fun to conceal that, if we can.”
So who do you think Mikkelsen is playing? Take a guess in the comments below!
