Marvel’s Kevin Feige Admits Fault With Doctor Strange Whitewashing Scandal

With Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness seeing Benedict Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange traveling to other realities, perhaps he’ll come across one where The Ancient One is not only still alive, but an Asian man like in the comics. In any case, looking back to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, this will be an opportunity to see if Marvel Studios did indeed learn its lesson from Doctor Strange. Namely, the real Mandarin, played by Tony Leung, is serving as the movie’s main antagonist, and this is a character who has a dicey history with being depicted stereotypically, particularly in his earliest comic book appearances.
