Arshad Warsi as Wong (Benedict Wong)

Wong is mighty and a fantastic supporting resource for Doctor Strange, having fought many battles by his side. Arshad Warsi, known for his talent at portraying sidekicks, particularly in Munnabhai MBBS, would be suitable for the role of Wong. His versatility as an actor would help him balance comedic timing with the dignity of his character’s position.

Tabu as Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen)

The Scarlet Witch is a complicated, potent antagonist, and who better to play her than Tabu. Tabu has previously played robust, beautiful, and layered negative characters, notably in Omkara and Andhadhun. With her attention to detail and charismatic screen presence, Tabu is Bollywood’s choice for the role of the Scarlet Witch.

Kiara Advani as Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams)

 

Christine Palmer is Doctor Strange’s close friend and ex-girlfriend. She is no-nonsense and efficient, with an edge of humorous wit that makes her a dynamic watch on screen. Kiara Advani would perfectly embody the wit and charm of Christine Palmer.

Kartik Aaryan as Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) 

 

Kartik Aaryan recently in an interview expressed his desire to be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and said “They really know how to create magic.” In this case, how can we not have Kartik Aaryan for the role of Mordo? From his magical connection in Bhool Bhulaiya 2 to his comic timing in several other movies, Karthik has the potential to carry out the serious role of Baron Mordo.
