We’ve been wondering for a while who Mad Mikkelsen was playing in the upcoming Doctor Strange more and now it seems we know…
And, once again, the toys have revealed the information.
Heroic Hollywood have had an early glimpse at the toys from the movie and the figure of Mad Mikkelsen reveals he’s playing… Kaecilius.
The figures in question are minimates and here’s the official description:
Marvel Minimates Series 70 Doctor Strange Movie 2-Pack Asst.
A Diamond Select Toys Release! The next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now the next entry in the long-running Marvel Minimates line! Series 70 of Marvel Minimates mini-figures travels to the world of the Doctor Strange movie, with four different two-packs: Dr. Strange with The Ancient One, Mordo with Kaecilius, the specialty-exclusive Stephen Strange with Christine Palmer and the specialty-exclusive Wong & Zealot! Each 2-inch Minimates mini-figure features 14 points of articulation and fully interchangeable parts. Each two-pack is packaged in a full-color window box.
In the Marvel Comics Universe, Kaecilius is one of the villains linked to Baron Mordo.
Rachel McAdams is also confirmed as Night Nurse, a love interest of Strange and, in the comics, she spends her nights fixing up wounded Superheros. Many believed that Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple was set to be the MCU’s Night Nurse but it seems not… or at least not in the movies.
In related news, Marvel have released new synopsis for Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
