He will be joined by Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Karl Mordo, Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, Mads Mikkelsen as Doctor Strange's evil villain, Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West and Rachel McAdams as the doctor's fellow surgeon.
The film will retell the story of the superhero's origins as an exceptional surgeon who was forced to drop his profession because of a horrific car accident that damaged his hands. As he searched for the cure for his condition, he came across the Ancient One, who to took him and made him an apprentice in the mystic arts.
