micdotcom:And the role of Marvel’s Iron Fist goes to … a white guyWhen fans imagined who might play the title role in Marvel’s forthcoming Netflix series Iron Fist, they had some fresh ideas. While Iron Fist is white in the comics, many fans hoped the superhero, a master of martial arts, would be played by an Asian-American actor. On Thursday, those hopes were dashed when it was reported Game of Thrones actor Finn Jones got the job. One tweet on the casting: “If @Marvel had cast Iron First with an Asian actor I could have given them a pass for 50 years of this.” -- source link
