V: WB caught off guard by Waititi’s decision to focus on the Marvel property as “Akira” was getting closer to production. Antibody Jul 16, 11:18

Maybe someone like JWAN would be game? {nm} ~JPV~ Jul 16, 11:26

Wb probably doesn't want to alienate him, but didn't they have a contract? {nm} Antibody Jul 16, 11:26

Deadline backs up Variety, they were having disagreements on casting among other issues. notfabio Jul 16, 11:55

I don't understand why a high budget and political correctness would make it difficult to cast ethnically...unless I'm misunderstanding {nm} tealfan Jul 16, 12:08

It's a shame this is gonna decline 24% because of Captain Marvel, am I right or am I right? Looks like this will be a 2021 film... {nm} HurricaneKid Jul 16, 12:04

heh... {nm} csbd Jul 16, 12:32

That sucks. Was looking foward to his take on AKIRA. {nm} VictorY Jul 16, 12:36

Aww man, what a massive bummer.. although I am excited about the new Thor project and him returning. {nm} MiyazakiFan Jul 16, 13:24
