Doctor Strange

Tilda Swinton discusses the process of developing her character, The Ancient One, for the film Doctor Strange. She says the entire team aimed to achieve something "fluid, non-specific, pure, ageless, and gender-free" with her character. Tilda also explores the film's central character, Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), and the journey he goes on to recover from a devastating car crash. Tilda chats about the brilliance in Benedict's work, drawing a comparison between his roles in Doctor Strange and Sherlock Holmes, and also how grateful she is to have been approached to portray The Ancient One.
