Doctor Strange Prelude #2 Shows Us Mordo & the Ancient One as We've Never Seen Them Before
Perhaps the most controversial casting choice in Marvel's Doctor Strange was the decision to cast Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One; it led to accusations of #whitewashing. The prospect of casting a white female as the male Asian mystic was an unusual one, and an explanation from Doctor Strange writer C. Robert Cargill really stirred the pot. Now, in the second issue of Marvel's Doctor Strange Prelude - a two-issue miniseries based in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - we've finally seen the Ancient One at work. Marvel has been justifying the casting choice by arguing that the Ancient One is being used in a very different way; how accurate is that?

A New Cast List for Spider-Man: Homecoming May Have Leaked— What Does It Reveal?
Spider-Man: Homecoming is shaping up to be one of the most hotly anticipated films of 2017. It's no surprise, then, that every day brings a new rumor; and over the weekend, a particularly interesting one hit the Internet.

That said, I got to see it before it was erased from the Internet, so here are the four things that stood out to me...

What Role Will The Ancient One Play In 'Doctor Strange'?
It's no secret that the Ancient One — Doctor Strange's venerable mentor — has been completely redesigned for the MCU. In fact, some aspects of that redesign have been pretty controversial; Marvel were attacked for white washing the character when chose to cast Tilda Swinton to play the part. Co-writer C.
