>While Mads Mikkelsen was cast in Doctor Strange months ago, his character has remained under wraps. It seems that’s going to change as merchandise for the film prepares to make its way onto store shelves.
>Heroic Hollywood got a sneak peek at one of the toy sets being released alongside the film. The toy’s description reveals that Mikkelsen is playing Kaecilius.
What if Mads is playing Kaecilius who is controlled by someone more powerful from the other side to set up a future villain?
Bentley James
>What a waste of Mads.
Mads gets to bring his own distinct presence to a minor character rather than overhaul an existing major character unrecognizabley.
You all don't know what you want.
Parker Roberts
>What a waste of Mads. Pretty much par for the course of the MCU. They have a tendency to nab oscar winning actors and just completely and totally waste them in every way possible. They just want the fact to be known that "hey, we have an oscar winner in our movie!". This dude only took that role because he wanted his kid to see him as a superhero.
Charles Jenkins
PROTIP: Every superhero movie actor is doing it either for the paycheck, the fame or the kids.
Jack Bennett
Which is generally why they all feel exactly the fucking same. It's also why I was done with the MCU after Thor 1.
Kayden Murphy
S'what happens when you don't do light reading on the material before signing up, should have waited out for Black Panther or something.
He did a great job all the same, he seemed the most invested in the on-goings. Balanced out how flippant the others behaved.
Angel King
>missing out on Winter Soldier >missing out on Guardians >missing out on Antman >missing out on Civil War lol
Thomas Anderson
Saw ant-man a week ago I think, It was generic and felt like filler. Winter soldier was ok. Guardians is alright, but just like avengers, it doesn't hold up after more than one viewing. Haven't seen civil war.
Jonathan Fisher
Well shit, an user called it.
Liam Wright
>Well shit, an user called it.
user guesses everything.
Josiah Richardson
>Civil War
that movie was a festering pile of shit... the only thing good was the airport fight, which is apparently all some people need to make it "the best movie ever made everrrrr!!!!!1111111"
Eli Gutierrez
>>missing out on Antman
Wait…do people actually think Antman was a good movie? Antman represents everything wrong with cape movies. The definition of an assembly line, committee approved movie.
>Generic plot; Stealing from Iron Man 1 >Paul Rudd trying to be Chris Pratt >Tone all-over the place >Mediocre action sequences >Maybe worst MCU villain yet etc…
Brandon Moore
t. zack snyder
Ethan Watson
So fucking nothing?
Hudson Morgan
So you really weren't done with the MCU and just wanted to sound like an elitist faggot
Kevin Lopez
I didn't think it was possible to be more obscure than Killian.
Anthony Cox
Go to bed Wright
Alexander Smith
So I'm guessing Kaecilius will suddenly make a comeback in the comics, just like Malekith and Darren Cross did.
Camden Allen
>Kaecilius was a disciple of Baron Mordo. He often served as field agent or deliverer of messages for Mordo.
inb4 all part of Mordo's, and by extension Dormmamu's, plans
Cooper Perry
Cross was way more obscure
Camden Perez
Someone who claimed to be from the set said Mads is playing two characters.
Initials of characters...
"K" and "C"
David James
THat movie snyergy baby
Easton Jones
his secret identity was obscure, but Yellowjacket is moderately well known
Bentley Wilson
This is generally a good thing though.
They're taking an obscure literally who character and actually giving them a personality. A lot of good stories in capeshit come from reinventing characters nobody cares about.
Kayden Jones
fuck meant for
Eli Watson
Kaecilius and Clea
Parker Brooks
Nah, Killian was just a bit player in Extremis who entered the story by killing himself. Cross was the villain of Lang's origin.
Ian Hill
Chthon would make some sense. He's from another dimension and considered a "devil" who created vampires, werewolves, and witches.
Ryan Myers
In that a friend downloaded them and wanted me to watch them with her, sure. Haven't seen thor 2 or avengers 2 and probably never will.
Henry Sanders
Kaecilius and Captain Mar-vel
Juan Kelly
Dormammu better be up in this movie.
Carson Kelly
None of the Sinister Six are in here, right?
Hudson Parker
He'll probably get a post-credits scene where he and Mordo are plotting shit.
Eli Sullivan
Nah nigga leve him for the sequel
Gabriel Butler
Did you fuck her?
Camden Barnes
Shill harder
Wyatt Campbell
Why would they be? Kraven is the only Spider-Man villain with any supernatural connection that I can think of.
Carter Hughes
Mysterio had one for a while but it was awful.
Julian Baker
>no Dormammu >no Shuma >Cucumberbatch as Strange >literally who director to handle the most visually distinct property they have >wasting Mads in a no name character
I thought you liked Strange, Feige.
Levi Brown
The first trailer completely and totally aped the matrix and inception. You deserve everything you get.
Tyler Hughes
Why not Mid-Credits? I say mid or post credits stinger.
I wonder why no Shuma-Gorath yet either but oh well.
>implying he won't just be a throw away villain like Red Skull, Ronan, Malekith and Cross
Sebastian Ramirez
Sure, but a guy can hope.
Lucas Collins
>Shill harder
I was a navy seal with 10,000 pushups I cant even finish this meme
Austin Ross
Cross was one of the better, weirder one-shot villains.
Carson Sanders
>Shill harder
If he was Dormammu you'd complain his head wasn't on fire.
If he was Nightmare you'd complain he wasn't pale with green clothes.
If he was Baron Mordo you'd complain he didn't have a beard.
David Adams
>should have waited out for Black Panther or something that's funny, because he was Black Panther for his cartoon
Oliver Nguyen
Where did someone claim this? Leddit?
Adrian Torres
>>Paul Rudd trying to be Chris Pratt
But he was literally just Paul Rudd
Kayden Jones
>a friend
Sure thing pal
Gabriel Gutierrez
I like Donald Trump
Michael Ramirez
>You all don't know what you want.
Yes we do, Mads as Doom.
Nathaniel Young
>>Kaecilius
How do you even pronounce that? Also, Malekith tier. When you have to kickstart Dr. Strange, you go with this guy? Not even Nightmare? I can understand not doing Dormamu or Shuma Gorrath out of the gate, but there's got to be a more famous Strange villain to use!
Daniel Rogers
He's just a vessel for a larger villain.
Isaiah Robinson
>Antman represents everything wrong with cape movies It's the epitome of a generic cape movie. But at the same time, it perfectly shows how to do a generic cape movie right. It was formulaic, but it hit every note just right.
Connor Ross
So is the male Diamondback going to come back with Luke Cage?
Juan Turner
Name's got to be a cover up, like Mandarin style bullshit. Malekith was 1000x more relevant than this character. He'll probably end up turning into/possessed by someone else by the end of the movie.
Josiah Perez
>Diamondback Dammit, I REALLY want a Serpent Society movie.
Cameron Cruz
kay-sill-e-us?
Jace Garcia
It looks like disney will need extra shilling money to promote this especially in RT
Jason Martin
Hypernatremia detected
Ryder Clark
Well they are using Mordo and probably want to make it about his "journey" to being the new Loki figure.
Matthew Morgan
I'm sure they'll appear at some point. It's not like the movies acknowledge the Netflix shows. Though it would be hilarious if synergy had the male Diamondback kill the female one.
Brody Richardson
So, maybe part of the Netflix shows or perhaps Phase Four or?
John Kelly
Go back to killing the DCEU, Zack.
Asher Wood
Dr. Strange post credits leak in pic, check it out.
Ethan Sanchez
POWER OF THE POWER OF THE POWER OF THE POWER OF THE POWER OF THE POWER OF THE POWER OF THE POWER OF THE POWER OF THE POWER OF THE
Zachary Evans
Goddamnit, Mads was the only reason I was gonna see the movie. Actually, now that I saw the trailer and Cumonabatch managed to lose his accent so well for the role, I may see it anyway.
Nolan Miller
If they have a replacement Cap, surely a future film.
Nolan Wood
>not making peace with wasted Mads
c'mon he's a Marvel villain guys. dude's getting some nice exposure with this and Rogue One love it
Jayden Hill
I rather he not get that exposure. He was in a fine place where he was, making amazing movies, starred in one of the greatest TV series I've ever seen. He was a Bond villain, granted the role wasn't as big as it should've been.
Jason Ortiz
Yeah I bet they'll recast eventually possibly middle of Phase Four or something. Similar to recasting James Bond.
Evan Wilson
what's wrong with exposure? worst case he just goes back to Europe and makes Danish movies. hell maybe somehow this will lead to more Hannibal, I know he's up for it
Eli Hill
>recast Nah, Evans doesn't want to do Captain forever. Plus, Captain can be replaced in story. RDJ quitting is where they'll have a problem. They kind of painted themselves into a corner by making his identity public knowledge.
Blake Myers
I'm just worried he'll end up in romantic comedies or shit like that.
Michael Miller
...
Elijah Robinson
I thought Chris wouldn't mind playing Cap in the future now that Ike Perlmutter is gone from Marvel Studios.
Charles James
I hadn't heard about that.
Kayden Campbell
On this very part of Sup Forums, user.
Mason Murphy
Evans changed his mind on quitting after working with the Russos
Jordan Harris
MCU Kaecilius sounds like an amalgam of Modred and Kaecilius.
Mads has said his character believes he is doing good, and that sounds like Modred; an idealist who gets Justed hard.
Chthon exposed the sorcerer community (and Bendis) as a bunch of conceited liars in Mighty Avengers, and the AO being accused of being a naughty fibber is a plot point in DS apparently.
Mads might be playing Chthon via voice and CGI post-Strange, with Kaecilius the mindrape-monkey, as he starts fucking shit up in the wider MCU while Dormammu appears in the Doctor Strange sequels. Dormammu would take half the movie to set up and does not open up much of the mystic universe other than the Dark Dimension, but Mordo being Dormammu's spy would be great set-up.
Kayden Wood
Well, from what Feige has said the plot is that Mads' character thinks the AO is lying about how dangerous the outer dimensions are. Instead he claims it would be better to bring down the dimensional barriers and allow humanity to experience the wonders of the multiverse.
If that's the case, I see no reason the the treat should be limited to just ONE extra dimensional horror. Feige has said the Dark Dimension appears in the movie, that leaked Lego set image suggests we might get some sort of tentacle Lovecraftian horror at one point, and now people are raising the idea that Cthon could be involved.
I like the idea that Kaecilius rejects the teachings of the Ancient One, weakens the dimensional barriers, and then the entire Dr. Strange rogues gallery mindrapes him and makes him their puppet while Strange, Mordo, and the AO all freak the geek out as Many-Angled Ones, demons, Mindless Ones, and Cthon's dark minions all start popping out of dimensional rifts at once. Like, Imagine if Kaecilius, by the end of the movie, has had his brain colonized by Dormammu, Cthon, and Shuma-Gorath simultaneously and they're all jockeying for control of his body, each trying to force him to open up the MCU to their own respective forces.
Dominic Collins
That would be a great twist on the possession trope.
Kaecilius opens the floodgates and gets the trifecta of mindrape.
Julian Rivera
>It's an "immigration is bad" episode
Brandon Rivera
>Mads Mikkelsen will never play Doctor Doom in a MCU movie
Colton Davis
>Mads gets to bring his own distinct presence to a minor character rather than overhaul an existing major character unrecognizabley. No, he won't . We've all read Fiege views on villains in these film. You're literally insane if you think it's gonna change now.
Wyatt Clark
I've seen Guardians more than any other MCU movie and I say you're wrong. If anything you pick up on shit you missed the second time around. It's way better than Avengers.
Joshua Garcia
I think when the immigrants are like this guy then yeah, in that case it might be.
Tyler Wood
Well, if we are not limited to the MCU, but any Marvel film, there is Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
Xavier Collins
>Strange >Famous
Found the problem. Only thing a popular strange villeins serves to do is please/tick off fanboys. People who actually fund these films don't know shit about Strange beyond his looks and magic.
And besides, everyone you just listed is OP as fuck for a beginner strange. Would you really be satisfied with fresh off the boat strange beating Nightmare?
Colton Bell
Not that user, but personally I think it was dumb of them to go with beginner Strange in the first place for this very reason.
Carter Rivera
From what I can tell that creature is standing his ground and Strange is an invader.
Dylan Gray
it's fine as long as no one else does
Juan Robinson
>Maybe worst MCU villain yet That's still and always will be Malekith. You could never screw up harder if you tried.
Asher Mitchell
I assumed it would be pronounced the same as the Roman name Caecilius. Which I only know about from the Cambridge Latin books when I did Latin at school.
that's kai-kill-ee-us by the way.
Zachary Young
Pretty much. Corey Stroll at least put in some effort and had some memorable moments in Ant-Man (plus it is Corey Stroll)
Malekith pissed me off because they completely wasted Eccleston. Like, you got this great actor, then cover him in makeup, have him speak another language, and even though he kills Thor's mother, he's still not memorable! Then again, Thor: The Dark World is my least favorite MCU film for a ton of reasons.
