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.

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.
