Chiwetel Ejiofor Talks Baron Mordo In Doctor Strange

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23540:]]

Up next for the Doctor Strange movie is Chiwetel Ejiofor talking about his character, Baron Mordo. Set pics seemingly revealed Mordo friends with Benedict Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange, of which the actor addresses the nature of the character (via EW):

“In terms of his life with the Ancient One, it’s this long and intense relationship they have that’s just very deep and very connected,” says Ejiofor. “I think they both recognize in Strange this certain quality that they feel is going to be very useful in a situation they’re in — just by the nature of who he is, and the way that he operates, and the way his mind works, and the certain skill set and personality that he has. So, when they all meet, they realize that he’s somebody that can be plugged into this very surreal, interesting, sort of fascinating circumstance that they’re all in, and the dangers that they face. And so it becomes a process of assimilating him into their ways of life.”

On whether Baron Mordo is a straight up bad or good guy:

“Oh, he’s a very complex character that, really, I don’t think can be nailed down either way, you know,” the actor demurs. “I guess it’s something to experience, is what I’d say.”

Doctor Strange” has a November 4, 2016 release directed by Scott Derrickson starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mads Mikkelsen.

Chiwetel Ejiofor Up For Doctor Strange Role

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18841:]]

Oscar nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor is said to be up for a leading role in the Doctor Strange movie.

THR reports on the news, but doesn’t have any further details, including which character Chiwetel Ejiofor is up to play.

It’s been said that Chiwetel Ejiofor may be up for a villain role, but reportedly, other sources have said that might not be the case.

Speculation has it that it’s possible Chiwetel Ejiofor is up to play the part of Wong, Doctor Strange’s assistant, or even the Ancient One, Doctor Strange’s mentor.

It’s also guessed the Doctor Strange villain will be Baron Mordo.

Chiwetel Ejiofor is known for 12 Years A Slave, Joss Whedon’s Serenity, and has a role in Ridley Scott’s upcoming The Martian.

It’s noted Marvel is in early talks with Chiwetel Ejiofor, so this isn’t guaranteed.
