kinda like why they brought back Hugh Jackman for DEADPOOL 3. People like these actors in these roles. You cannot just pander to the diehard fans, you need regular moviegoers to go see these movies. Thats why the AVENGERS is so popular, they are big movie going events.

There's not a significant contingent of movie goers going "You know, I like watching actors I never heard of instead of actors I like" Big Indian actors have very little visibility outside the diaspora audience in the US.

I mean, where is the evidence that its divided? Internet polls? Those are easy to manipulate. Twitter? Its not remotely real life. Very few people are actually on twitter and the huge majority of posting is driven by a small % of users.

Dhanush in talk for AVNG5. Should've cast an Indian for Doom since Romani originated from India. Antibody Aug 09, 11:14

Of course then you would get "giant role for an Indian actor, and then he's covered up by a mask for 95% of the time" complaints. :) {nm} notfabio Aug 09, 11:19

or even more obvious, you dont have RDJ for the new AVENGERS movies {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 12:03

He could return as a Stark variant instead of Von Doom. Antibody Aug 09, 12:50

Maybe that's what they are doing {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 13:15

He was introduced as Von Doom. Antibody Aug 09, 13:16

There has the be most multiverse explanation for why {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 13:22

I think they want these movies to make money in other places than India. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 09, 12:10

He's just the villain. There are 30+ Avengers in the cast to sell the film. Antibody Aug 09, 12:16

Did people come out just to hear Spader or Brolin? Antibody Aug 09, 12:17

Spader did for me! {nm} RamsFan2004 Aug 09, 12:36

No, but you don't pay $50 million to RDJ if you think people will go see the movie paying Dhanush a fraction of that amount. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 09, 12:51
