I would beg to differ. Almost all of the cast was from UK. Benedict Cumberbatch played Dr. Strange very well especially that fighting scene with rachael mcadams (christine), and kaecilius was played by a great actor mads mikkelsen. so was baron mordo played greatly by chiwetel ejiofor. Bendict wong was great too. I'm just saying this movie was filled with great actor and actresses. Tilda is one of the best one, but do acknowledge others too for truth sake.
The whole cast. One of greatest scenes, dialogue-wise, was when Strange calls out the Ancient One for tapping into the dark dimension and then Mordo blasts away at Strange.
@@lewisrogers5685 imho that what people actually have in mind when they say she was/is the best character.. cuz you have this all powerful figure who could very well put everyone into the pocket yet for the sake of main hero the figure meets an untimely demise, leaving some of us both enchanted and wondering, just how much fun and how much cooler the story would be if she merely faked her death to help Strange become great the way he did..
She's the one. I see no one else playing this role better than her. Hats off to the people who bring all the actors together. They are the real visionaries.
The Ancient One stole the show for me. Never cared for many of Swinton's roles, other than Gabriel, but what she did in Strange was so effortless and genuine and flowing. I hope she's in any second movies.
after watching the movie I can say that nobody else could have played the role .. perfect in every sense..and the movie just really something.. they kept faithful to the original comic and aesthetics... I love this film more than any other Marvel movie
I love her! I don't fancy superhero movies, but I might actually see this one solely for tilda. I'm Chinese and I know abt the whole casting controversy, but it's hard to complain when it's tilda. :)
She's magical! That's why she's often cast as magical creatures: Jadis the White Witch ("The Chronicles of Narnia"), the angel Gabriel ("Constantine") and the Ancient One.
First noticed Tilda in 'Constantine'...was totally blown-away with that character...and when she showed up in Dr. Strange...I was blown away yet again. Doubtless it'd wear her out...but I kinda really wish the MCU would've given 'The Ancient One' her own (stand-alone) movie. I really do. Preferably something filmed in the northern region of Scotland, showcasing Celtic/Druid-influences (maybe film the construction of Stone Henge or Newgrange ?) maybe even find a way to inter-sect with ancient Norse-God legends PRIOR to Thor & Loki...because modern-day archaeology has proved that ancient-civilizations (prior to Vikings) had a role to play in how people came to be, in Britain & the Emerald Isles.
As a bald Asian (because of alopecia), I'm thrilled that they make her look so cool bald! Her blond lashes make it look like she doesn't have lashes, which is also an alopecia thing. So I appreciate it. More badass bald women in Hollywood please!
Despite the "controversy" which i find is an absolute exaggeration based on cheap nonsense, doctor strange is one of the most entertaining and brilliantly made movie. And As for Tilda Swinton,i have always been a huge fan of her and her works,it is so much fun watching Tilda playing as the ancient one, i don't think there is no one better to portray this enigmatically whimsical character. As for BC,CE,BW,and MM and the other casts, marvelous job,tots. It was totally worth my time.
if this was an ethnically black character being played by a white one, people wouldn't be saying that. but if its a matter of representation of South Asians who are literally never showcased in Hollywood since asia is apparently only east and south east asia, then it's cheap nonsense. I admit she played the part well but what irked me was that despite a significant amount of the movie taking place in Nepal, there wasn't ONE south Asian character, not even any minor side character. Imagine if a movie took place in a region that was ethnically black in majority and all the characters were white, or if there was a movie in high-class Victorian era England, and all the characters were black, there would be a lot of uproar. that's all my point is
what a beautiful woman . even bald she's still beautiful. she's so unique. i would like to shake her hand one day. it probably will never happen but one can hope.
I was upset at first cuz i remember reading the original comics and I want The Ancient One to be Tibetan but given the current political climate right now, it just wasn't feasible. Besides, Tilda Swinton just crushed it. If it had sucked that'd be a different conversation but she pulled it off and I couldn't be happier.
ok first of all, today is her birthday so happy b-day Tilda! 🎂🎉 and now, I know there was a little controversy with her casting for the ancient one, Idk the details of it or what were fans complaining about but I just think, (and hardcore comic book fans will hate me for it) I think they need to chill! Tilda Swinton is such a great and respectable actress, she's unique, out of the box, mesmerizing, hugely talented and mind-blowing! I saw her in many different roles and allways loved her performance. she's quality ensured and can make it real good and I was happy to know she was going to be part of the MCU. idk but hardcore fans should stop their preconceptions, prejudice and bitching about everything, this is a CINEMATIC universe it doesn't need to be exactly the same as it is in the comics, these are adaptations to the screen and it's my humble opinion that so far, these movies and performances are being pretty much respectfull with the original creation, arc story and characters. of course I'm not the carrier of reason here this is just my concept and opinion but I know there's people who's with me on this one
They left so much room for The Ancient One to be such a powerful force and huge character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe that I really want too see this version of The Ancient One in more films. Her death in the Doctor Strange movie gave Thanos a way in too Earth. I really hope she's brought back in the future. Her fight scenes in the movie were the best part of the movie. Especially the opening scene.
She would've been a good Dr Strange as well. She was perfect as The Ancient One. The writers didn't want that stereotypical old Asian dude. For example. In the film. Strange approaches the asian guy on the yard. To his surprise he finds out that he wasnt the Ancient One.
I think I've seen her in Chronicles of Narnia but anyway this is a really good movie. Probably my favorite one ive seen this year. I love the fight scenes, the casting, and the overall plot was just a masterpiece. If you haven't seen this movie, you should find a way to get to the theaters ASAP
People complain about her casting because she’s white and not an old Asian guy. But if they’d cast an old Asian guy people would complain that it was stereotypical.
I mean about ethnicity, anyone can develop themselves spiritually whether asian, celtic , causacian, hispanic , negro, southeast asian, slavic, arab, etc
I had the dr strange number 1 comic book as a kid and this is a damn betrayal of the memory of that art of story and illustration. Pure desecration of classic popart vintage masterpiece.
Marvel's reasoning for race-bending The Ancient One is as shallow as the dog that ate my homework, and by mouthing it, the production is insulting and patronizing those who question them. Swinton is a fine actress, but I fault her for taking the role for which she is grossly and positively miscast, and for swiping an economic opportunity for another, most appropriate Asian actor.
If you bothered to watch the movie, she's not miscast at all. The role isn't an Asian role, as much as Heimdall wasn't a white role. We don't need another Asian mystic anyway.
The race-bending is an obvious give to minorities, not that I mind it here and there really. The comics were largely white-biased, and yeah, it's a sign of the uglier times. For Thor movies it seems to have worked with Heimdall. I can't imagine anyone else in that role, now. I'm not a fan of how they swapped out the human torch in the FF movie cats-astrophe, though. But then nothing would have rescued that mess.
davidsirmons "The race-bending is an obvious give to minorities" Or they took one look at Idris Elba and didn't give a toss about race. I completely agree, I'm white as they come and I even have Scandinavian ancestry and I say this Heimdallr is the best thing about the Thor movies. Don't even get me started with FF. That was a waste of life to watch.
she is the best character in whole movie. Watched it today.
Agreed, she was excellent... Far better than the others in my mind.
I would beg to differ. Almost all of the cast was from UK. Benedict Cumberbatch played Dr. Strange very well especially that fighting scene with rachael mcadams (christine), and kaecilius was played by a great actor mads mikkelsen. so was baron mordo played greatly by chiwetel ejiofor.

Yes, she knocked it out of the park. Would like to see more of her character.

she naturally gives off the vibe of knowledge and power
I am Asian and I cannot see anyone else in this role. She IS the Ancient One.
What about Ellen
Anyone here after seeing her again in Endgame? She really deserves her own movie.
She's the one. I see no one else playing this role better than her. Hats off to the people who bring all the actors together. They are the real visionaries.
I love her voice and the way she talks~
Lina Kuzmina same here....
Its poetic and beautiful. I could listen to her talk for hours on end.
Ancient One to Hulk "You about 5 years to early"
I love her character 😍
The Ancient One stole the show for me. Never cared for many of Swinton's roles, other than Gabriel, but what she did in Strange was so effortless and genuine and flowing. I hope she's in any second movies.

She's a great actress for the Ancient One. Very admirable!
Watched the movie today, all that casting controversy is bs, she slayed.
perfect casting as the ancient one
she is just too perfect for ANCIENT ONE
I needed more of her on screen she was so beautiful !!! And god can this woman act her butt off ! Shes fabulous !!

Then you better pray they will have Moondragon in.
Ancient one and The White Witch both played perfectly by her
She is ONE amazing lady. I loved her character, "The ancient one". that part was totally her.
Despite the "controversy" which i find is an absolute exaggeration based on cheap nonsense, doctor strange is one of the most entertaining and brilliantly made movie.

Interesting code
Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, and Mads Mikkelsen
Cheap nonsense? The director had a logical explanation that made sense to him. Don’t lose the Chinese market. You can see the interviews on utube.
It was exactly that. . .Cheap nonsense.

@@boodabill It ended up working out anyway though. She did such a good job
I liked her outstanding skills shown in that film, amazing
I don't care what anyone says.
I loved her in this role. She did so well in it.
Her character is one of the bests
Such a beautiful lady ..and she explains everything ~ so much relaxing interview
what a beautiful woman . even bald she's still beautiful. she's so unique. i would like to shake her hand one day. it probably will never happen but one can hope.
I've always thought the same thing.

Besides, Tilda Swinton just crushed it. If it had sucked that'd be a different conversation but she pulled it off and I couldn't be happier.
we need a stand alone movie of The Ancient One.

Dude i love her voice and her accent
Whose here for her as a key player and 7th unofficial Avenger in Endgame?
She's so good as the Ancient One I think she ought to have her own solo movie. The Ancient One. She's so cool. So good. I'm a fan now !
Perfect mix of sass, wisdom, power and grace
the ancient one kicked so much ass! they were just like *waves hand in air* and it was like "WHOA!"
Best Actress for Ancient one
They left so much room for The Ancient One to be such a powerful force and huge character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe that I really want too see this version of The Ancient One in more films.

As the witch?? thats the closest she matches to
We never lose our demons, we only learn to live above them
Best character
She's amazing
I loved seeing her in endgame
tilda swinton really does a good impersonation of ancient one
She can do any character watch her in Michael Clayton
Please give her her own film🙏🏻
The moment she appeaared in Dr. Strange. I started to like her. She's fitted in her role.
People complain about her casting because she’s white and not an old Asian guy.
But if they’d cast an old Asian guy people would complain that it was stereotypical.
Somehow I fall asleep during this interview.. her voice just 👌soothing
I wonder if they make a tv show about her. All about her life and on how she became the ancient one in the first place
El personaje mas importante es el que hace tilda switon exelente actriz
Best female actress👏👍
Great actor
Who else thinks the ancient one fakes her death?
Angels, Ancient One, or Any High Intelligent Characters = Tilda Swinton
i love u Ancient 1
Let's start over
Oh my she is beautiful
Not a Marvel or Superhero movie fan at all, but I'll watch this for Tilda def.
So jeolous of her daugther. Coolest mom ever
How is she 60 🤯🤯🤯
She is really great as ancient one. I am sad by Kevin fiege's statement about her.
Strong female through and through
Just realized: nine operations.....nine. The number of the soul.
The white witch from narnia was the ancient one
The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton)
I mean about ethnicity, anyone can develop themselves spiritually whether asian, celtic , causacian, hispanic , negro, southeast asian, slavic, arab, etc
I like tilda swinton on shotting. 🤗
Too bad we'll never see the ancient one fight Hela. Tilda Vs Cate. The two best in the business.
would have loved to know the questions she is replying to.
I had the dr strange number 1 comic book as a kid and this is a damn betrayal of the memory of that art of story and illustration.
Pure desecration of classic popart vintage masterpiece.
She is the best part of the movie. No offend, but there is too much cumberbatch in this movie.
Is it hard to ask some meaningful question? Or deep ones? Dafaq?
the ancient one
I don't understand why they made her go bald . Just give her white hair or something
So basically the character has no characteristics?
Derp
SAY NO TO THIS
Marvel's reasoning for race-bending The Ancient One is as shallow as the dog that ate my homework, and by mouthing it, the production is insulting and patronizing those who question them.

Well, Heimdall was always portrayed as white in the comics. Just saying.
davidsirmons And in the movies he's black. Just saying.
The race-bending is an obvious give to minorities, not that I mind it here and there really. The comics were largely white-biased, and yeah, it's a sign of the uglier times. For Thor movies it seems to have worked with Heimdall. I can't imagine anyone else in that role, now. I'm not a fan of how they swapped out the human torch in the FF movie cats-astrophe, though.

Loved her portrayal of The Ancient One :) will watch again for her.
