AceShowbiz - "Doctor Strange" had been teased in some pictures, but not until now we've got a look at Mads Mikkelsen's character. The "Hannibal" alum, who is said to be the main villain in the movie, was spotted on the set in New York City on Sunday, April 3.
He sported makeup around his eyes that made him look evil. At one point, he was seen walking the street joined by an actress donning a red costume who rocked long hair and similar eye makeup. Mikkelsen's character was described as an evil sorcerer, but his name is yet to be revealed.
Also taking part in the filming that day was Benedict Cumberbatch and Chiwetel Ejiofor, who play the titular character and Baron Mordo respectively. Donning their costumes, they appeared to be running for their lives as Cumberbatch had a bloodied face.
With the filming in NYC ending, the movie has just completed the production. Director Scott Derrickson announced it on Twitter as he posted a photo of himself in a comic book store holding a copy of "Doctor Strange" comic. "That's a wrap," he wrote on Sunday afternoon.

Apparently during the filming in the city, Cumberbatch took some time out to visit a local bookstore dressed as the Sorcerer Supreme. A fan shared a photo of their meeting on Facebook and Marvel updated its Twitter account with anoter picture of the British actor on the bookstore.
So, the Doctor just came in for a quick visit. #drstrange #benedictcumberbatch
