‘Doctor Strange’ Villain Revealed: Learn More About Mads Mikkelsen’s Kaecilius
Marvel unveiled the first Doctor Strange trailer months ago, but much of the film still remains shrouded in mystery. Like the villain. We know he’s played by Mads Mikkelsen, and we got a quick peek at him in the trailer. If you’ve seen some of the paparazzi shots, you may know he’s got some weird stuff going on around his eyes. If you’ve been paying attention to Marvel toy releases, you might have learned that his name is Kaecilius. But who is he, exactly?
A new Marvel comic has the answer to that question and more. Mikkelsen’s Kaecilius plays a prominent role in a Doctor Strange prequel comic set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and among other things it reveals a bit of his history with other characters in the movie like Wong (Benedict Wong) and the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton).
It’s clear that something happens to turn Kaecilius against his former allies, although Kaecilius himself probably wouldn’t see himself as having “gone bad,” exactly. While executive producer Stephen Broussard has previously confirmed that Mikkelsen is playing the “main villain,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has said his character thinks he’s doing the right thing.
Doctor Strange is set to be released on November 4th
2016
