It seems that Chiwetel Ejiofor just can’t get enough of Marvel superheroics. Or perhaps, Marvel can’t get enough of him? The Doctor Strange actor who has been a fixture of the MCU as Baron Mordo, is making the jump to Sony’s universe as part of Venom 3!
Deadline has the news on Ejiofor joining Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man universe, although his co-starring role is unclear. Could he be playing a version of Mordo? That would be possible given all of the multiverse shenanigans that have been going on, but it’s unlikely. Mordo doesn’t seem like a natural friend or foe to the Lethal Protector, especially when there are so many other options.
Ejiofor joins the returning Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom, along with Ted Lasso actress Juno Temple. Kelly Marcel will direct from a script she co-wrote with Hardy.
