Marvel Studios CEO: It was a mistake for a white woman to play the Ancient One in Doctor Strange

According to foreign media Deadline, Marvel Pictures CEO Kevin Feige admitted that it was a mistake to let Tilda Swinton play the Ancient One in "Doctor Strange".

When the casting was announced, it caused huge controversy as a white woman was cast to play an Asian male role . However, Marvel did not take into account the dissatisfaction of Asian fans and did not make any changes.

Now, as more and more Asians speak out for themselves, Kevin Feige admitted that he made a mistake when talking about the role again. " We always think we are smart and at the forefront, 'Oh, we don't want to shoot that kind of older and wise Asian role anymore, it's too cliché.' So is there a solution? Is there any other way to find an Asian to play a less clichéd type of role? The answer is definitely yes. "

"Doctor Strange 2" will be released in North America on March 25, 2022.
