* DoingInTheWizard: Averted. There are no SufficientlyAdvancedAliens at play this time; it's definitely magic.

* OutOfGenreExperience: For the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has [[DoingInTheWizard preferred sci-fi explanations for]] magical elements so far, such as Thor and the other Asgardians being aliens with [[ClarkesThirdLaw insanely high level tech,]] Loki mind-controlling people with one of the Infinity Stones rather than his own magic, and Wanda Maximoff gaining her powers from being experimented on by exposure to said Infinity Stone. This isn't really possible with Dr. Strange though, as the whole ''point'' of his story arc (presumably) will be him learning to use magic in order to protect Earth from supernatural forces, none of which can simply be passed off as based on science.

** Baron Mordo is traditionally portrayed as white, but is portrayed by black Chiwetel Ejiofor.
** The Ancient One is traditionally Tibetan, but is portrayed by the Caucasian Tilda Swinton here.

* GenderFlip: The Ancient One is traditionally a male, but here played by Tilda Swinton. Justified by WordOfGod that it's a title, much like Sorcerer Supreme, that has been held by multiple people throughout the ages. And it may be a subversion, as Swinton [[http://ca.ign.com/articles/2015/07/24/doctor-strange-tilda-swinton-doesnt-know-if-shell-play-the-ancient-one-as-a-man-or-a-woman may play the character as male anyway]].
