As AceShowbiz reports citing Deadline, the actor is cast as a villainous character named Baron Mordo. Mordo first appeared in the comic Strange Tales in 1963. He and Stephen Strange are both the students of the Tibetan sorcerer known as The Ancient One. In the comic books, Strange thwarts Mordo's evil plan to kill their teacher.
