Chiwetel Ejiofor Movies, Ranked

Mordo, Scar, and the Man Who Is Right in the Room

13 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-10-12.

He keeps playing the one person who actually knows what is going on, whether that is Inside Man, The Martian, or the moment Mordo decides everybody else is wrong. Ranked by my own stars, and yes, Scar made the list too. ...plus 3 more. View
