Could the mysterious woman seen below be Umar? Or is it possible that she's Clea? More likely, she's probably Zealot (played by Zara Phythian), a character who seems to be the "Faora" to Mads Mikkelsen's "Zod". With the mention of The Dark Elves, we know the prelude will take place in the present-day Marvel timeline so these events likely occur not too far ahead of where the Doctor Strange movie will begin.
