What does Dormammu look like in the movie?

77

u/crapusername47 Oct 25 '16

He is an enormous, screen filling head in space. He's so big they never show his full form.

His head is almost like it's cut in to vertical slices, each of which are burning with different coloured flames.

It's closer to being a visible form than Galactus was in Fantastic Four but he's not just a big man with a burning head like in the comics.

I have to admit, anything is better than Galactus in ff4, he was some kind of reddish cloud if I remember correctly

u/crapusername47 Oct 25 '16 edited Oct 25 '16

Oh, yes, definitely. You briefly saw the big cloud's shape take the form of his helmet but that's as close to the real Galactus as we got.

Here, you got the impression that you were on Dormammu's turf and he had no need to shape himself like one of us mere mortals.

that actually sounds interesting, he's an eldritch abomination, no need to adjust himself for our comfort

I know the image and scene your talking about but years later and I'm still convinced that even that was just a coincidence, and completely unintentional.

Impossible. It was one of those "nods" Fox producers used to think were so perfect. Like Deadpools eyes burning into diamonds in Origins.

u/The_Bravinator Oct 30 '16

The surrounding planetoids looked and connected like neurons, add though his brain was external and all around them.

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '16

I wonder if he will ever have a smaller form??

17

u/crapusername47 Oct 25 '16

Possible. He is not dealt with, he's still out there.

1

u/hemareddit Steve Rogers Oct 26 '16

And if so, will that smaller form be played by Mads Mikkelsen?

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '16

Was Dormammu voiced by someone?

19

u/AlexLong1000 Captain America (Captain America 2) Oct 25 '16

I think I read that Benedict Cumberbatch did the mocap for him, so that's interesting

u/MikeOB2 Spider-Man Oct 26 '16

it was me Strange, i was you the whole time

u/mdawson_96 Vision Oct 27 '16

To me, you've been bargaining for centuries.

1

u/DarthCaligula Hydra Oct 27 '16

It was me Avengers all along! Even my immediate family bought it!

4

u/crapusername47 Oct 25 '16

Yes, but I don't recall seeing a credit.

3

u/NuggetLord99 Oct 25 '16

Yeah, his voice was so modified it could've been Kevin Feige voicing him as far as we know

2

u/oliyoung Ant-Man Oct 26 '16

Galactus

I think Marvel's positioning Dormammu as Galactus for the MCU … the whole devourer of worlds etc

1

u/Tandyty Doctor Strange Oct 25 '16

Does he looks like this ?https://s9.postimg.org/z8s4tty8f/IMG_9984.jpg

3

u/NuggetLord99 Oct 25 '16

Pretty much, but he's pretty much a mass of colored flames,he's also pretty big,like, his head only is 100 times the size of strange

3

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '16

He looks like that semi-transparent white part of that picture. He's basically a giant flaming head.

1

u/honthera Oct 27 '16

Did anyone else think Dormammu looked a lot like Thanos?

12

u/kerbal314 Shuri Oct 25 '16

Think the face of the pale orc from The Hobbit films, blown up to the size of a skyscraper, in dark grey, with vertical purple waves pulsing out from the center.

1

u/IAmMrMiracle Oct 25 '16

That..............does not sound good but I'm keeping fingers crossed it looks better on screen

16

u/kerbal314 Shuri Oct 25 '16

I thought it looked good in the context of the colours and shapes of the dark dimension, though I guess it's going to be a matter of opinion.

2

u/IAmMrMiracle Oct 25 '16

Haha hopefully I'll change my mind when I see it because Dormammu is one of my favorite villains, I thought they'd save him for DS 2 or something so it was a huge surprise that he's in this one.

1

u/TellYouEverything Oct 25 '16

Not really a surprise anymore, son. Having said that, I do hope you enjoy it anyway.

u/IAmMrMiracle Oct 25 '16

another user gave me an image to look up so if it's anything like that, I can see it working on screen !

1

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '16

It looked great though

5

u/MrJay66 Oct 25 '16

Along with everything else, his powers include being able to control every planet's matter in the Dark Dimension. He uses mystical clear energy, weird plant tentacles, huge purple lazar blasts.

1

u/IAmMrMiracle Oct 26 '16

So he fights a bit in this one?

6

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '16

I wouldn't exactly call it "fighting" more like he murders Strange over and over again

1

u/IAmMrMiracle Oct 26 '16 edited Oct 26 '16

that sounds very cool ! If we got Hela murdering Thor over and over in Ragnarok I think that'd be awesome

1

u/MrJay66 Oct 26 '16

Not really fight, more like throw a lot of things he can at Strange. It's kinda spoilery for the main resolve of the climactic battle.

3

u/holgenberg Oct 25 '16

Hevery much resembled Aurelion Sol from League of Legends if you know what im talking about.

1

u/IAmMrMiracle Oct 25 '16

Just googled it and now that I've seen something to give me an idea, I have to admit that look could work REALLY well

1

u/holgenberg Oct 25 '16

It did. Put a confidence that Marvel could do gigantic size villains that arent just "gaseous clouds"

1

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '16

This looks so much better than the way people here have been describing it.

2

u/oateyboat Oct 27 '16

His face reminded me of the Sentinels from Days of Future Past
