Fan Casting The Ancient One in Strange Tales

- Make yourself comfortable. [Strange] - ....What are you, anyway? - Why, an old man, can't you see? - 🙄 That...you're a kind of... - Sorcerer? - I was going to say warlock, but that works too. - Believe me, sorcerers and warlocks are very different wielders of magic [they descend a staircase, while Strange notices other presences around him]. - We have a mission to help defend our world from what it cannot see. - So the help I came looking for is just a facade for [he bumps into a wall that suddenly appears]. - Agh... - Maybe a little, but that doesn't mean we can't do both, don't you think? Many here came hoping to find help. And some also found a purpose. Perhaps that could be your case. - [Forced laughter] Are you perhaps trying to train me to be a magician? Sorry, this superhero thing is for attention-seeking people like that jerk Tony Stark. - Not every hero is super, Strange. And not every hero is perfect. And that can be a great advantage in the end. - .... - The final choice is yours, but I think you could at least try. Maybe you don't even need me to heal your own hands. Established in Kamar-Taj, the one known as The Ancient One is the leader of the so-called Masters of the Mystic Arts, under the moniker of Sorcerer Supreme. For centuries, this group has protected Earth from mystical threats and dedicated itself to helping those in need, educating them in the magical arts to give new hope to those who could accept sharing such a gift. Even noticing Strange's clear arrogance, The Ancient One at the same time sees qualities in him, causing him to decide to actually train him to become a sorcerer - and perhaps even more than that. Although not confirmed, it is possible that his real name is Yao.
