Chiwetel Ejiofor, who starred in 12 Years A Slave, is possibly going to star opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Marvel’s Doctor Strange in 2016. Ejiofor has not signed anything yet, apparently, and, as of right now, he is only in talks to become a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It is unlikely that Ejiofor will play the Ancient One or Wong, I wonder if he’s eyed for the role of Baron Mordo. If Ejiofor is in for a big role in the Doctor Strange universe – but not as Mordo, Wong, or the Ancient One – then Marvel may be looking for Dormammu.
Scott Derrickson is directing the Doctor Strange film, which premieres the 4th of November 2016 in US cinemas.

If I only I knew anything about the Marvel universe beyond the movies! I would like to see him in ANYTHING, though, so this’d be a definite plus. Let’s see how this pans out. *Fingers crossed*
Yeah, I really like Ejiofor – would love to see him as a villain in the Strange-films, with hopes that he could best Loki as the best MCU villain.
That’d be quite a feat!
