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

I would suspect that someone wants "names" and possibly not Japanese and someone wants true unknowns who are Japanese.. {nm} notfabio Jul 16, 12:14

those who are hesitatiing to go all-ethnic need only look at the BO of the Fast & Furious films, Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians :) {nm} tealfan Jul 16, 12:17

Spoiler alert, Waititi wanted to cast Japanese "untapped" talent for the leads per his 2017 interview with Collider. notfabio Jul 16, 12:18

Miyavi's been in a few Hollywood films. {nm} Antibody Jul 16, 12:29

Mostly Japanese cast may not do well in China. {nm} Antibody Jul 16, 13:00

As interested as I would be in Taika's Akira, I'm not sure he's a great fit for the material. Akira isn't a farce. {nm} HurricaneKid Jul 16, 12:17

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
