Marvel boss Kevin Feige has admitted that he regrets whitewashing The Ancient One character in Doctor Strange.Tilda Swinton took up the role in the 2016 movie despite the fact the character is portrayed in the comics as an Asian man.Marvel Studios defended the casting leading up to the film’s release, which led to a backlash.“Marvel has a very strong record of diversity in its casting of films and regularly departs from stereotypes and source material to bring its MCU [Marvel cinematic universe] to life,” Marvel said at the time.“The Ancient One is a title that is not exclusively held by any one character, but rather a moniker passed down through time, and in this particular film the embodiment is Celtic.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is broken up into several “Phases.” Phase 1 (ending with “Avengers” in 2012) sort of acts as the introduction to the universe and the idea of connected continuity. Phase 2 built on the success of the previous films and introduced weirder concepts (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” for example).

Kevin Feige has some regrets.

Jordan Moreau Marvel film “Doctor Strange” courted some controversy when it cast actor Tilda Swinton, a white woman, in the role of The Ancient One, who is typically portrayed in the comics as an Asian man. Marvel Studios defended the casting leading up to the release, but now president Kevin Feige has addressed the controversy and admitted the company could have handled it differently.In 2016, Marvel Studios released a statement about Swinton’s casting, saying “Marvel has a very strong record of diversity in its casting of films and regularly departs from stereotypes and source material to bring its MCU to life.

Five years after “Doctor Strange” was released, Kevin Feige admits casting Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One was a mistake.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently opened up about the Doctor Strange whitewashing controversy. After receiving a lot of criticism over the casting of Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One in the 2016 film, the Marvel head has now stated that he regrets it and even considers the whole thing a "wake-up call."

When Marvel Studios set out to bring “Doctor Strange” to the big screen, there was one massive question about the character’s history that needed to be answered—how do you translate the role of The Ancient One to the modern setting? For decades, the character has shown up in the comics as a stereotypical mystic Asian man that shows Stephen Strange how to wield magic. Clearly, as a society, we’ve moved past that sort of portrayal.

Marvel Studios is taking big risks with their new wave of Disney+ shows. Unlike the ABC, Hulu, and Netflix Marvel series (that now have been effectively rendered non-canon), their new shows will be directly tied into the film side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the TV shows would always reference the MCU, but were rarely if ever reciprocated from Kevin Feige‘s corner of the hard-canon MCU).

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige stood on the stage of the D23 Expo in Anaheim in 2019 to present Marvel’s inaugural slate of television series for Disney Plus — including “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” Before inviting stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan onto the stage with him, Feige introduced the show’s core creative team.“I would love you to meet our head writer, Malcolm Spellman, and our director, Kari Skogland,” Feige said.It was a subtle moment, easy to miss amid the spotlights and propulsive music. But Feige’s use of the title “head writer” for Spellman — rather than “showrunner” or “creator” — wasn’t just a cosmetic affectation.
