'Doctor Strange' movie updates: Filming wraps, Mads Mikkelsen's villainous character pictured
Filming for "Doctor Strange" is finally complete. Hot on the heels of the production wrap-up, details about Mads Mikkelsen's character in the film have come to light.
The "Hannibal" star was pictured in his "Doctor Strange" costume. He donned a gray outfit that has martial arts vibe. It is noticeably unadorned, at least comparing to Strange's digs. Mikkelsen donned long gray hair tied at the back of his head. Overall, the actor's get-up was rather simple but the sophistication comes in his eye make-up.

Despite these photos, it is still difficult to figure out which character Mikkelsen will be playing in the "Doctor Strange" movie. Rumor has it that he portrays Dormammu, also known as the Lord of the Dark Dimension. However, his costume does not seem to match that of the villain's. This had Screenrant believing that Mikkelsen's character might be another Ancient One student. The details on his eyes, however, could be a hint that he was possessed by Dormammu. Either way, the character looks amazing. In other related news, Benedict Cumberbatch walked around New York this weekend and even had time to pop by a comic book store in his Doctor Strange costume. Of course, he buys none other than a copy of a "Doctor Strange" comic book. It looks like director Scott Derrickson was with him during his stroll.
