– First Trailer | Lakeith Stanfield, Benedict Cumberbatch
The next big magical hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be Jericho Drumm, according to rumors that Marvel Studios is planning a Brother Voodoo movie. Industry insiders claim that Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange may also appear, and that Lakeith Stanfield, star of Judas and the Black Messiah, is being considered for the lead part.
In Marvel Comics, Jericho Drumm is a Haitian doctor who returns to his homeland after the death of his twin brother, Daniel, a powerful Houngan (Voodoo priest). Following a transformative spiritual journey, Jericho inherits his brother’s mystical abilities and becomes Brother Voodoo, eventually taking on the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme in certain storylines. Given the growing supernatural elements of the MCU, the introduction of Brother Voodoo seems like a natural progression.
While details remain unconfirmed, sources suggest that Brother Voodoo could explore Jericho’s origins and his rise as a mystical protector, potentially tying into the fallout of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Some reports indicate that the film may feature a new supernatural antagonist, with theories ranging from Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) to Nightmare or even a darker version of Doctor Strange himself.
