Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen has been confirmed as the main villain for Doctor Strange which stars Benedict Cumberbatch, by executive producer Stephen Broussard."We will take audiences through a sort of a guide to the multiverse, other dimensions, and there are amazing things out there," said Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige. "But there are also very scary things in these other dimensions. Mads' character is a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect. [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." According to Feige, the job of sorcerers like Doctor Strange and The Ancient One, played by Tilda Swinton, is to protect humanity from such things.
