In the original comic books, the character is a male Tibetan Monk with magical powers, yet in the film is played by Tilda Swinton.
The actor has previously spoken about the casting, dismissing whitewashing claims and calling the film diverse in “all sorts of ways.”
Instead, the character Wong, played by The Martian’s Benedict Wong, was made one of the main characters, his comic book origin being completely changed.
Meanwhile, Marvel has brought forward Doctor Strange’s release date in the UK, changing from 28 October to 25 October.
