I could be wrong about asian guy since he's playing Hogun which is one of Marvel fictional Asgardian character that supposed to look like a mongol. But that doesn't matter. The whole wardrobes are a big freaking joke.
I want Captain America to be Asian, just to make it fair. Then maybe if they make a Wonder Woman movie one day, she'll be played by a Aishwariya.
I used to read a few Marvel comics when I was little and collect all those cards. Hogun the Grim He's always looked like Mongol (think Genghis Khan), yet to Hollywood that probably meant the first Asian guy that they saw. OT: Check out 2:12 in the trailer, Natalie Portman's impersonation of Megan Fox from Transformers and Monica Keena's (carrying the torch scene from Freddy vs. Jason). Wobble wobble wobble
I hated seeing BALDERAS (Spaniard) as Emiliano Zapata (Mexican). JK. Who gives a darn. dback816, you could argue Zhang Ziyi (Chinese) playing a (Japanese) geisha in Memoirs of a Geisha" was almost right... don't all Asians look alike? If they "look" alike, fine, but... don't give me different races, man... wasn't Green Lantern supposed to be black? He's already called "Capitán América" in Mexico. Good catch. Also, FIXED on the accent on the E above.
One of the Green Lanterns was black (John Stewart). He is the third or fourth Green Lantern depending on whether or not you count Alan Scott who is not a member of the Green Lantern Corps, but is also called Green Lantern and uses a green ring to make constructs (his is magic instead of alien). There is also a Hispanic Green Lantern named Kyle Raynor and a ginger Green Lantern named Guy Gardener. The one in the movie played by Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan, who is white.
Jesus said he agrees...but that you shouldn't worry about it because the Norse gods are really just a bunch of douchebag USC linebackers.
You know mother effin' LULAC would have raised hell if the Hispanic Green Lantern would have been named "Gardener." :grin: 'Course, Quanell X wants some action, too, so we should find a stereotypical black name for the black one...

MUCH Better trailer than we've seen before. Good hook for the ladies at the beginning of the trailer, too.
Based on the two trailers I don't have much expectations for this movie. It looks like another Hollywood movie by committee. I guess Kenneth Branagh very limited say in much of the movie especially the script. Also if they are going to cast Hogun the Grim as an Asian they should've used Ken Watanabe.
Also on Earth isn't Thor supposed to be a skinny crippled doctor who in times of trouble can transform into Thor with his walking stick turning into the hammer?
