Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Concept Art finally reveals Daniel Craig as Balder The Brave

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness It wasn’t quite the wild journey through alternate realities that many fans expected, but the Earth-838 certainly offered its fair share of surprises. It was in that world that we met the Illuminati, a group of “heroes” who had taken matters into their own hands when the Doctor Strange they knew nearly caused a raid. The group consisted of Professor X, Mister Fantastic, Black Bolt, Captain Carter, Captain Marvel And Master Mordo. Previously it was reported that Bruce Campbell was cast to play Balder the Brave before Marvel Studios decided to make The Illuminati a little more star, that’s why John Krasinski And Anson Mount were added last minute to the sequel.

Since then, it has been reported that Daniel Craig was the original choice to play Thor’s brother. Apparently, the actor retired due to concerns about the pandemic and we now have confirmation that the former James Bond was actually taken into account. Artist Darrell Warner shared his Balder design, confirming that this variant’s costume never got beyond this stage. It’s a real shame we didn’t get to see it, even though it could be argued that it would make the star die by No Time to Die for Scarlet Witch’s hand after a few minutes of screen would have been a huge waste.

Hopefully, Marvel Studios will revisit Balder’s idea and Craig’s casting in the not too distant future. The Asgardian has never appeared in the MCU despite him being an important part of the journey of Thor on the page, and it looks like the sequel to Doctor Strange it was the film that most of all came close to making the character debut on the big one.
