Months after reports linked Chiwetel Ejiofor to Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange film (see "Chiwetel Eijiofor Up for Leading Role in 'Doctor Strange'"), it has finally been revealed that the Oscar nominated-actor (for 12 Years a Slave) will play Doctor Strange’s arch-nemesis Baron Mordo. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Baron Karl Amadeus Mordo first appeared in Strange Tales #111 (August 1963). Scott Derrickson is directing the Doctor Strange film, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch, and is slated for release on November 4, 2016 (see "Black Panther,' 'Captain Marvel,' 'Inhumans' Movies").
