Twitter user Riya Shrestha tweeted a photo of Ejiofor in her official account. In the photo, Ejiofor looks like a wizard from "Harry Potter" with his attire and he is looking at something. Another photo by Dorje Tama saw Cumberbatch and Ejiofor as Strange and Mordo together in the streets.

According to Cinema Blend, both men seem to be in good terms as they walk through the street together, while Mordo is a villain in the film. As per the publication, this could be a scene in which Mordo would help Stranger discover more about his abilities as a magician in the early part of his career.

Also, the fans may see both characters take off with a good relationship at the start of the film, but fades after Strange learns Mordo's true nature.

Derrickson's "Doctor Strange" will not be an origin story, according to Cinema Blend. However, it still centers on the exploits of Strange, a neurosurgeon who loses his hands' fine motor skills after an accident. He meets the Ancient One, a master of magic who trains him to become the Sorcerer Supreme and defend the world from evil.

"Doctor Strange" stars Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One, Rachel McAdams as the Night Nurse, Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West, and Cumberbatch as Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme. "Hannibal" actor Mads Mikkelsen, who was reported to play the role of Mephisto or Dormammu, might not appear in Derrickson's forthcoming film.

Derrickson's "Doctor Strange" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on Nov. 4, 2016.
