Baron Mordo

From the first day when it was announced that Chiwetel Ejiofor will portray Baron Mordo, the fans began speculating that he will be the main antagonist of Doctor Strange, most likely having his strings pulled by another evil-doer (and the name Dormammu was mentioned most of the times). But is it really so?

In the comics, Mordo planned to kill the Ancient One and take his place. When Doctor Strange found out, they became mortal enemies. Will this be the case in the movie as well? In the Entertainment Weekly interview, Chiwetel Ejiofor described the relationship between Mordo and Strange as being quite a comfortable and warm one. Basically, he said that the relationship beings advantages to both his character and Cumberbatch's.

When asked directly whether Mordo will be a villain or not, the answer was also an ambiguous one: “Oh, he's a very complex character that, really, I don't think can be nailed down either way, you know. I guess it's something to experience, is what I'd say…”

What can we make of this? We believe that Marvel will wait a bit longer until Mordo turns evil. Maybe in the second solo flick? Who knows "“ at this point, we cannot expect for a full clash between this characters.
