Maybe they're doing short flashbacks or something?

I'm not at all familiar with the comics and such, but considering they name-dropped him in TWS as if it were supposed to mean something, he should already be a significant public figure, right? Although I suppose that could just be because he is a world-renowned surgeon or something, and not because he has powers.

do we know if Tilda Swinton is playing The Ancient One as a man, woman, or possibly genderless, yet?

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm actually hoping she plays it as a man. That would be awesome on many levels.

[spectre08]

Also, Benedict Cumber-goatee is awesome

[Astro Zombie]

Oh god he looks awesome

[Lt. Brannigan]

This is gonna be awesome.

Basically. It's just how EW chooses to photograph their covers. Lighting and post is everything!

I do video production and I used to do photography, so this is how I know. lol

[DisneyBlu]

[Elandyll]

“Mads is playing our main villain,” says executive producer Stephen Broussard.

Marvel Studios president and Doctor Strange producer Kevin Feige elaborates further. “We will take audiences through sort of a guide to the multiverse, other dimensions, and there are amazing things out there — wonders that are going to be hopefully visually extremely interesting and unique to this movie,” he says. “But there are also very scary things in these other dimensions.” According to Feige, is the job of sorcerers like Strange and The Ancient One, played by Tilda Swinton, to protect humanity from such “scary things.”

So, where does Mikkelsen’s antagonist fit in, exactly? “Mads’ character is a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect,” says the Marvel Studios boss. “[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.”

Although Broussard and Feige are happy to talk about the nature of Mikkelsen’s role, they are not, at present, revealing the actual name of his character. “I’ve seen lots of names thrown around,” says Broussard. “No one has quite picked the name that we’ve chosen for him. It would be fun to conceal that, if we can.”

I know nothing about Doctor Strange. So, you all that do are more than welcome to share your thoughts on this. lol.

Seconding and Thirding he looks awesome and this'll be awesome!

Now Mads as a villain in the MCU especially against Doctor Strange? I'll be seeing this in cinemas far earlier than anticipated! Hoping the trailer will be on YouTube in February.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Mads Mikkelsen opposite each other as the hero and villain? I have to admit the casting for this movie is pretty brilliant if nothing else.

For some reason people sometimes talked about how we’re not doing an origin story, we’re bored of origin stories. I think people are bored of origin stories they’ve seen before or origin stories that are overly familiar. Doctor Strange has one of the best, most classic, most unique origin stories of any hero we have, so why wouldn’t we do that? That was sort of always the plan. How you tell that origin, perhaps there are ways to twist it or play with that, but for the most part, it’s a gift when the comics have something with such clarity of story and of character. That doesn’t always happen in the comics, and when it does, you use it.

One burning question still unanswered - does he wear tight blue footie pajamas?

[dgoswald]

Not a fan of old Cumbs, but he looks fantastic as the Doctor. Nice one.

[StingingVelvet]

Glad they seem to be doing the origin, even if it's shown in flashback or something.
