Brother VooDoo

Speculation is swirling that Marvel Studios may be moving forward with a Brother Voodoo film, potentially introducing Jericho Drumm as the next major mystical hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to industry insiders, Judas and the Black Messiah star Lakeith Stanfield is reportedly being eyed for the lead role, while Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange could also make an appearance.

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.
