Nothing stopping them from doing the Wizard someday, like most villains he just needs an opportunity.

It's not a Marvel or Hasbro “blacklist” scenario as much as these characters were created with ‘Yellow Peril’ sensibilities and their original looks evoke racist Fu Manchu imagery. The scuttlebutt regarding the MCU Ancient One, was more about his backstory and being from Tibet. The celebration of Tibetan culture was seen as potentially problematic, so Feige altered the character to promote viewership in China. No “blacklist.” No altruism, either. Just money, as usual.
