The Ancient One isn't really new news unfortunately and it's kind of gone both ways. Some people argue that it is a good chance because the Ancient One was an offensive stereotype and others argue it is whitewashing. Both arguments were made when she was first announced for the role.

Yeah, I totally get it. For all I know, the movie's Ancient One could be an interesting and multi-layered character who avoids trite cliches. But it would have been cool if this film that's clearly influenced by Asian culture had a few more Asian actors.

You should read some interviews with Tilda Swinton. She is either completely insane or brilliant on a level that the rest of us can't comprehend.

She has crazy stories about her and her husband being swingers and how happy she gets by just sitting and thinking about them enjoying their various lovers' bodies, because it is the ultimate human connection to live vicariously through. She also sold all the possessions in her house except for a bed and a couple chairs. Her husband / partner is also a painter and she has stories about sitting naked in the same room as him while he paints other people. She also lives in a castle in a remote area of Scotland.

She said she is planning on playing The Ancient One as genderless.

Both can be true and to be honest she brings it no matter what role she's playing, so that's fine by me. Her version of Gabriel in Constantine was excellent and I suspect will share a lot of the same characteristics as her work here, especially with ambiguity as a theme that stretches beyond gender.

There's a theory that Tilda Swinton is playing Ancient One because the character from the comic is offensive...... to the Chinese government. An independant and powerful Tibetan monk is not going to sit well with them but I guess Marvel figured making the character an androgynous white woman will make her look less like the Dalai Lama.

Speaking of race lifting, Tessa Thompson could be playing Valkyrie in Thor 3.

‘Ghost in the Shell’ Producers Reportedly Tested Visual Effects That Would Make Scarlett Johansson, White Actors Appear Asian

http://screencrush.com/ghost-in-the-shell-whitewashing-scarlett-johnasson-vfx/

According to multiple independent sources close to the project, Paramount and DreamWorks commissioned visual effects tests that would’ve altered Scarlett Johansson in post-production to “shift her ethnicity” and make the Caucasian actress appear more Asian in the film.

It’s the latest, and most extreme, case of “beauty work,” the new trend in Hollywood to discreetly use visual effects to tweak an actor’s appearance, making them thinner, younger or stronger. The Ghost in the Shell tests were conducted by Lola VFX, the same company that aged up (and down) Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and is considered the industry leader in so-called beauty work. Though the tests were requested by the production team, once they were developed and reviewed, the idea was rejected “immediately,” says an insider.
