I can't wait until nerds start acting like the Ancient One is their favorite character of all time so they can act offended by this.
So what was so wrong with The Ancient One being an Asian male that they had to make her a white woman?
Marvel so far only changed the race of Heimdall and Jack Taggart and I didn't mind in the former case because Elba owned the role. All that I can say is that if your character doesn't resemble the source material at all, then they better do a very, very good job.

It's Marvel so everyone will be fine about it while at the same time being outraged at others doing the same thing
This is a double whammy really. Change race and change gender. Only next step would be to change species
This is actually kinda hilarious, since didn't someone suggest her in one thread as Strange himself? I really like it. Could see her dishing out mystical wisdom.
As I mentioned in the Wong thread, my frontrunner would be John Cho.Oh wow, I had totally forgotten Ejiofor is (probably) in this too. Yeah, this is easily one of the best casts in any MCU movie. Hell, any CBM.
So if we're assuming Ejiofor will be Mordo, who could play Dormammu and Wong?

I'm not so sure Ejiofor will be Mordo. I could see him as Dormammu or Brother Voodoo as well
Well, it is only speculation really, since Ejiofor might not even be in the movie. The rumor that he was in talks to appear is about half a year old now and we heard nothing about it since.Ejiofor is rumored to play the latter.
ME, ME, OMG I DID!!!
I am not really happy with the whitewashing (obvi, TAO won't be Tibetan...) but, GET IT QUEEN SWINTON. Here, I don't mind the whitewashing necessarily, b/c TAO is such a stereotype, and I don't know if there is a way around that.
Seriously, I had a heart attack when I saw the headline. I just need Ejiofor to be confirmed, and I might be even more excited for this movie than CW...
(Okay, that's not entirely true )
Or, y'know... They could just recast Strange with Ejiofor and REALLY make me happy!

Don't know but they'd better be British, just to keep the trend going...
So Jon Foo for Wong and Jason Isaacs as Dormammu, then?
