Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige during a recent interview admitted that the controversial casting of actor Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One in 2016’s Doctor Strange was a mistake. According to reports, the film producer, 47,  said the uproar over casting Swinton as the Tibetan magic arts guru was “a wake-up call”.
“We thought we were being so smart and so cutting-edge. We’re not going to do the cliché of the wizened and old Asian man. But it was a wake-up call to say, ‘Is there any other way to figure it out? Is there any other way to both not fall into the cliché and cast an Asian actor?’ And the answer to that, of course, is yes,” Feige said.
