I like Kingsley, but asian characters should be played by asian actors.

But he's not an asian character in the movie 
I enjoyed the first two but never thought they were the pinnacle of comic book entertainment, so I'm expecting this to break the trend of comic book movies and have the 3rd one be the best.

I think everyone, including women roles, used to be played by men in some of these old time theatre plays.Luke wrote:Blonde women shouldn't be played by brunettes?J T wrote:I like Kingsley, but asian characters should be played by asian actors.

The preview looks FREAKING AWESOME! However, The Mandarin is Asian, Kinglsey isn't. Couldn't they find a good Asian actor?

Id just like to voice my concern about Ben Kingsley not being Asian. Has anyone even THOUGHT of this problem!?!?Luke wrote: Is there an echo in this thread?
Re: Ben Kingsley As Mandarin?! Discuss.
If you think Ben Kingsley playing an Asian or Johnny Depp playing a Native American is a bit offensive, CLOUD ATLAS will have you picketing.
