"Three names have emerged as being in the running for the role of The Ancient One in Doctor Strange, and they're all very different as you can tell from The Dark Knight actor mentioned in the headline! Hit the jump to find out who might join Benedict Cumberbatch..."

"Now that Marvel finally have their Doctor Strange, they're begining to cast other key roles in the Scott Derrickson helmed movie. There's been talk of it not being an origin story, but it appears as if that may have been incorrect due to the fact that the studio are now zeroing on actors for The Ancient One (a character who played a major role in Stephen Strange's early years). According to Latino-Review, Morgan Freeman (The Shawshank Redemption), Bill Nighy (Shaun of the Dead), and Ken Watanabe (Godzilla) have all been approached to play the man who helps turn the scarred surgeon into the Sorcerer Supreme. Who do you think is the right choice to play The Ancient One? "
Instead of Marvel using more of its female heroes besides Black Widow, They decide to change the gender of one of their other characters for the movies.
I dont know how to feel about this.
I should be upset that The ancient one now has a vagina and isnt an old asian guy.
I dont hate T. Swinton as an actress though.
I personally think they should stick to keeping the genders related to the characters in place. As Kazenji said, if they want more female heroes, introduce some of those that already exist.
