Marvel may have found their Ancient One for the Doctor Strange film, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. Actress and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton is apparently in negotiations to play Doctor Strange's mentor and Tibetan mystic named the Ancient One.
The film, set to release on November 4, 2016, will star Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. It will be directed by Scott Derrickson and produced by Kevin Feige.
Marvel was originally looking for a man to play the part but rethought the role and is now casting a female. Shooting for the film will begin in November.
