After a highly secretive shoot, Marvel Studios has finally let the doors open on their late-2016 release Doctor Strange and we've thankfully been able to see plenty of Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (The Martian) suited up and in action over the past few days. Now, we've just received our first look at the mysteriously wicked-looking villain played by the incomparable Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal).

Dormammu? Mephisto? Blackheart? Nightmare? Kaluu? Who is this mystery villain? Check out the photos for yourself below and give us your best guesses on who you think he is in the usual spot!

UPDATE: Director Scott Derrickson has announced that Doctor Strange has officially wrapped. Now, the team heads into an extensive post-production phase as they prepare for its November release date. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios shifts its focus to the impending release of Captain America: Civil War and the upcoming productions of Spider-Man and Thor: Ragnarok, both of which will kick off this summer.

Dormammu burning his way out a host through the eyes?

ARGH, WHO ARE YOU?! TELL ME!

Earth2SpecialKa - 4/3/2016, 11:30 AM

Idk who that's supposed to be. Could be a person who has been enthralled by dormammu? The chick has the same eye situation..

BritishMonkey - 4/3/2016, 11:30 AM

I'm still hoping Dormammu.

AgeofApocalypse - 4/3/2016, 11:32 AM

Lookin' good so far.

hufflepuff69 - 4/3/2016, 11:33 AM

Really cool makeup

TheRedCondom - 4/3/2016, 11:33 AM

Damn, I like his look but can't think of who it might be.

Mick808 - 4/3/2016, 2:35 PM

@TheRedCondom - deadpool from origins

GhostDog - 4/3/2016, 11:34 AM

NIGHTMARE! Or that's who he becomes. We know he's a rogue student of The Ancient One. Maybe he becomes Nightmare

Reasonnnn - 4/3/2016, 11:35 AM

@ComicsBornAndBred - If they change from the source material, it could be Nightmare transitioning into Dormammu.

soberchimera - 4/3/2016, 11:40 AM

@ComicsBornAndBred - Wouldn't suprise me considering that was the first villain he faced in the comics.

Chewtoy - 4/3/2016, 11:34 AM

Cool look... I'm not aware of any characters that this might suggest, however.

freebirdink843 - 4/3/2016, 11:34 AM

Was it ever confirmed he is a villain??

lemric - 4/3/2016, 11:43 AM

@freebirdink843 - yes

freebirdink843 - 4/3/2016, 12:17 PM

@lemric - cool!!

DeusExSponge - 4/3/2016, 11:35 AM

Those are some cool practical effects they got going on there. Also, I wonder when these shots occur.

CanadaMan - 4/3/2016, 11:35 AM

Personally, I'm hoping he's Mephisto. I swear if Marvel kills off another villain though... :p I love Mads too much to see him be used for only one film!

marvel72 - 4/3/2016, 11:35 AM

Interesting but who the f*ck is he?

01928401 - 4/3/2016, 11:36 AM

Cyclops
