Tilda Swinton will not apologize for her role in Doctor Strange.
Swinton stars as the Ancient One, who is of Tibetan descent in the original Marvel Comics. Because she is of Anglo-Scottish-Australian heritage, fans accused Marvel Studios and director Scott Derrickson. Said Swinton:
"-the film Marvel has made?in which they created a part for which I was not bad casting, in actual fact?is a departure from the source material in more ways than one," she adds. "Ironically, their casting is positively diverse in this case: The Ancient One in this film was never written as the bearded old Tibetan man portrayed in the comics."
