Fan Casting Karl Amadeus Mordo in Strange Tales

- You must be the Ancient One's new apprentice. - And you would be? - It seems that remembering the past isn't always as coveted in Kamar-Taj as it should be. [Wong] - I'll take care of it. - It's always good to see a familiar face, don't you think, Wong? - You don't fall into that category. - ...I can say the same [the courtyard of the place then becomes a stage for sparks of energy cutting through the air] before Stephen raises a mystical shield to stop a surprise attack, protecting Wong. - Not bad, even if you have nothing to do with it. - Something tells me that from now on I do. - [Uncomfortable laugh] at least in that I still agree: the natural order requires some corrections. - I thought the oath here was to protect the world, not your pride. - You will regret those words, Stephen Strange. Everyone will. Once a former member of the Masters of the Mystic Arts (and a close ally of the Ancient One), Mordo has always shown himself to be stubborn and somewhat arrogant in his pursuit of his purpose – which would eventually transform him into a ruthless extremist, determined to eliminate sorcerers he considered violators of reality. Ironically, to aid him in his "incursion", he intends to do the same by using the power of the Time Stone in an attempt to seize it for himself.
