The Ancient One is a compelling character with a rich backstory, and nobody recognizes that more than Tilda Swinton, who takes on the role in Doctor Strange.
In a recent interview, the actor revealed she is pushing hard for an Ancient One prequel.
Perhaps, though, as Swinton says, the film will reveal something to us that completely erases our concerns about the role.
She also hinted at Ancient One appearances in future Marvel titles, saying that joining the franchise is “like being asked to join the circus.”
