16 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Characters To Look Out For In 2016

7. The Ancient One

Who's Playing Him/Her? Tilda Swinton. Who's Tilda Swinton? In the last decade or so, Swinton has appeared in films like The Chronicles of Narnia series, Constantine, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, We Need to Talk About Kevin, Moonrise Kingdom, Snowpiercer, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and this year's Trainwreck. What's She Appearing In? Doctor Strange. Why You Should Be Excited: Although Swinton made comments several months back relaying her uncertainty over whether she'd be playing the character as male or female, the character's ultimate gender shouldn't (and doesn't) matter when you've got someone as capable as the actress in the role. Obviously, the Ancient One will play a huge role in Stephen Strange's growth and inheritance of the Sorcerer Supreme role, but it'll also be a lot of fun to see the added dynamic of Baron Mordo's jealousy folded into the mix and how Swinton's interpretation of the character responds to it all.
