Ajax is now Daimio.
Thoughts?
He doesn't seem old enough but I'm just happy Ben is getting a live action treatment at all
wtf he's supposed to be half asian

While I didn't care about Alice being swapped, this gives me cause for concern. A lot of Daimo's character comes from the fact than since his Grandmother was a Japanese spy his family has had to go the extra mile to prove themselves in the military.

daimio's heritage is somewhat important for his backstory, so my hopes for this have sunk even lower...

I guess I gotta re-read BPRD again because I remember jack shit about this.

>A lot of Daimo's character
good thing we won't be seeing an of it in a 2 hour movie

i guess it's still an indicator that they don't really give a shit, y'know?

Completely changing up Alice's role and character didn't clue you in yet?
>we're gonna be more faithful to the comics than Del Toro !
>do racist changes instead
kek.
Arcudi didn't even know he was cast

and there are people still mad about ironfist

Del Toro wasn't even particularly unfaithful, he took creative liberties but there's nothing wrong with that. Kroenen was the biggest issue but he was never much more than "that ex-nazi science man" in the comics anyway
And Alice being changed is also an issue, given her nationality and the fact that she's part of the tie to the story being based on English folklore creatures getting pissed.
>Bruttenholm is being played by Ian McShane
I love the bastard, but I dunno about this
