Tilda Swinton
The wonderful Tilda Swinton is a multi-award-winning British actress (and performance artist, model, and fashion icon) who can, among other things, boast nominations for Academy Awards, BAFTAs, and Golden Globes. The impressive list of movies she has appeared in includes Vanilla Sky, Adaptation, Michael Clayton, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
She will bring her unique look and acting style to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016’s Doctor Strange, in which she will portray the titular character’s mentor – known as the Ancient One.
What is particularly interesting about this is that the Ancient One is always depicted as a male in the comic books, so it is a gender swap for the movie. It will be great to see what she brings to this character, given the alteration that has been made for the Ancient One’s introduction to the world of cinema.
And now, on to another extremely talented female…
