Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One in Doctor Strange
The Ancient One appeared in films like The Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame and was always seen as an Asian character. However, Hollywood decided to be a part of the whitewashing experience, and the actress picked out for this role made a step-back on the decision. After conducting a little research, the Ancient One is more like a title given to a character instead of it being an individual role. Tilda Swinton, who was given the role, noted the description of the character fit more for a Celtic woman instead of being portrayed as an Asian man.

The controversy surrounding the character’s true description was revealed when Swinton played a role in the film. However, there was a little problem as the film went from cinema to cinema…the cast was not the best! Many people found it weird for an Asian role to be played by a non-Asian and thought the role was stolen and given to a popular Hollywood star.
