Dread Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Isn't The Ancient One Asian? Tilda Swinton is all races. And no races. She is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'd also take her as an older Clea. Actually, better idea: Tilda Swinton is now all roles in this movie. (But yeah, Chris, you have a point there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Tilda Swinton plays women, men, Asian. It doesn't matter. Tilda is all things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Also, something a friend pointed out, not sure if it's the route they may be thinking of: Removing any Tibet references may actually be an attempt to market to mainland China, or at least make the marketing easier there.

Koete Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 That wouldn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It's not an excuse for the whitewashing, but I would not be surprised if it was a contributing factor in some of teh casting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenalphabro Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Honestly, I'd have loved to see her as Strange, but this could also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 The Ancient One is one of the most powerful shamans in the Marvel U. If he wants to look like Tilda, he's gonna look like Tilda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Chiwetel Ejiofor is playing Baron Mordo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm a little choked. I like him, but Peter Stormare was BORN for that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Rachel McAdams has reportedly been offered a lead role, presumably Clea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I love Rachel McAdams, but she almost always gets cast as the girlfriend or wife. Now that she's playing a more interesting part on True Detective, I'm hoping she'll get meatier roles. Marvel doesn't have the best track record with that, but maybe they'll try harder with Clea.

Koete Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 So uh...apparently Tilda Swinton is confirmed for The Ancient One? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Sounds like they might be doing The Oath, which might make McAdams Night Nurse. I like that better, I fucking hate Clea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 McAdams has confirmed her involvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Congrats! May she have a role where her considerable acting talent is used to it's fullest and she... hahahaha, I can't keep that up. She's going to have the Natalie Portman role and be wasted as the love interest that does absolutely nothing.

Missy Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Looks good, but I'm hoping they go with a more dapper look once he returns to New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Love it. I never thought it would look that comics-accurate, or that if it did, that it wouldn't look cheesy and terrible. That looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
