Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

I stick to an even more general "meatbags are stupid, accept your inevitable robot overlords" rule.

has been cast as Baron Mordo. HOLY SHIT I AM STOKED.
They also say he's going to be a Composite Character of several different Doctor Strange villains.
Chiwetel Ejiofor is Baron Mordo in Doctor Strange
.
Baron Mordo's like Stange's rival or something, right?
EDIT:
'd like a boss.

Mordo was essentially strange's Arch-Enemy before Dormammu took the spot, iirc. He's also tied up in Strange's origin, has the former Pupil Turned Evil of the Ancient One.
He's typically adapted as an Evil Counterpart of Strange who serves Dormammu, just as Strange follows the Ancient One's teachings.
Very interesting. All of a sudden, Marvel is entirely averting the idea that characters should only have major enemies that are of the same race. On the other hand, if Mordo isn't the main villain of the movie this would be the third time they've had a black dragon.

That's interesting. Most people thought he was going to be Brother Voodoo. Since Mordo's supposed to be Romanian, I guess they're probably going to change his background a tiny bit to avoid the issue of Black Vikings, which shouldn't very be hard. At the least it's way less thorny canonwise than what they could do with Swinton as the Ancient One.

So Doctor Strange will feature Sherlock Holmes battling the Operative in a battle of intelligence and will?
Shut up and take my money.
