>"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" star
I don't remember her in the film. Is she that Asian girl who was cast for the next one?
>>81342162
I didn't see TFA but article says she was Jessika Pava.
>>81342122
She looks pretty hot.
Which I'm fine with because part-Asian samurai girls are my fetish.
Wondering when Iron Fist casting would come around. It's starting in around a week. We should know who Davos, and the Meachums are soon.
>Wanted Christina Chong, but she seems cool, too.
She was one of the sand sneks in GoT.
I feel like i've seen her before
Oh god
>>81342159
she could dye it
She looks pretty young. Most important question, will she dye her hair?
>>81342187

Danny rand wants the bad pussy
>>81342247
>>81342234
The short haired one was great.
>>81342461
Seriously what the fuck was that line?
>>81342461
He never sleeps with Collen, just soul-rapes her in one scene and creates a lasting bond of friendship.
It uh....it makes sense in the context. And sounds a lot less horrible.
Look, Claremont was weird, alright?
>>81342159
>>81342255
red ombre is more likely in this day and age
>>81342162
Unless she was one of the rebel pilots, the only other role I can think that could've been her was the shriveled old asian alien lady.
YES YES YES
>>81342814
No, that was Lupita N'something.
And speaking of I still don't remember why there was such a fuss over her being cast when she was a small CGI orange Yoda thing.
>>81342217
I am really, really hopeful they cast someone good for Shang-Chi.
>>81342814
Had to look it up, yeah she was a Rebel pilot.
>>81342861
Oscar winner.
>>81342861
I think everyone speculated she was an MC and one of the trios kid
>>81342885
Did the pilot outfits always make people look fat?
>>81342881
How would you feel about Lee Byung-Hun? He's Korean, not Chinese, but he did play Storm Shadow in the GI Joe movies.
>>81342933
Yeah, that really fat looking pilot from the OT who exploded was actually anorexic.
>>81342745
The showrunners running amok with the source material.
>>81342992
He was in A Bittersweet Life. Hell yes. A little too old though.
>Born in 1992
Fuck me, She's even younger than the lead, and he's already younger than both Mike and Simone. This is gonna be weird.
>>81342885
Yeah, "star" alright then.
>>81342122
>"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" star
>STAR
She's as much a 'star' as "OUR FIRST CATCH OF THE DAY" guy from Empire Strikes Back.
I like how everybody was freaking out about how they weren't announcing anything for Iron Fist just a month or so ago and now there's all these casting announcements
Like jeez, patience people
>>81342992
I think Harry Shum Jr. or Justin Chon would be great.
>>81343122
It was mostly people talking about the slew of articles, popping up from the twitter hash tag to make him Asian-American.
>mfw Daughters of the Dragon series in Phase 2
Hahaha, She's English, too!
We'll just be over here taking all your roles.
>Yfw Davos, Meachum, Wendell and Shang are played by people from the British Isles.
>>81343265
now that would be 10/10
>>81343430
>mfw Liam Cunningham is cast as Davos
>>81343122
Nah. Around a month ago people were either celebrating him being white, or were angry as all fuck. Around a year ago articles were coming up that Marvel didn't know what to do with the property.
So, there's like around decade (or more) difference between Finn and Mike, and Jessica and Simone, right? So, are they going to take a more assertive 'older sibling' role in their respective duos?
>>81343430
next up: the Queen as Hawkgirl
ITS HAPPENING AMERICA
>>81343515
He's already Davos in GoT so why not
>>81342885
>GoT
>Star Wars
>Marvel
Man, her agent must have the biggest nose.
>>81343748
She'll be able to survive on the convention circuit, until she's dead.
>>81343744
He's not Asian, or Polynesian. (Going by the leaked casting.)
Sensei Colleen Wing.
>>81342780
Don't make it weirder than it needs to be, Anon, it was a fucking mind-meld.
>>81343782
Well I hope the poor girl gets real used to the stench of B.O fast.
>>81343889
>A teaser with every casting announcement.
I'm liking this.
>>81343925
Yeah, but they aren't announcing anyone on their site. This is EW news.
>>81342122
OH MAN....we gonna get full blown daughters of the dragon.
This pleases me.
>>81343911
Oh dear.
>>81343009
I had no idea there were so many layers of irony to him being named Porkins
>>81343984
Don't see why we wouldn't. Like Luke/Danny, they'd have to switch back and forth between the Iron Fist and Luke Cage shows. Unless, they get a spin off...
>>81344012
>so many layers
Heh
>>81343981
They were one of the ones that broken Finn was cast as Danny. When Hollywood trades report, it's pretty much a done deal. Expect Marvel themselves to confirm soon.
>>81344171
I know, I'm not arguing against it, I'm just saying, the teases should happen at the time they update their site, no?
>>81343782
Shit, that's quite a way to think about why these roles are so coveted.
>>81343981
>>81344171
...Anddd, what do you know.
http://marvel.com/news/tv/25978/jessica_henwick_joins_netflix_original_series_marvels_iron_fist
That was quick.
>>81343850
No but he's Liam Cunningham.
>>81344227
Just look at Jason David Frank. He has Power Rangers and MMA. And, just look at this cars.
>>81344377
well then, back to shitposting about BvS
>>81344377
“She’s shown us that she can bring both a sense of quiet strength as well as an engaging vulnerability to the character.”
it's always strength an d vulnerability.
>>81344193
They post teasers like this to their characters respective twitter pages. It's also posted on her official Marvel.com announcement article.
>>81343889
>During Luke Cage, Misty loses arm
>Starts learning martial arts to cope/learn control with her new robo-arm
>During Iron Fist, Danny becomes friends with Wing, who runs small dojo in NYC
>meets her student Misty
And then they fuck
>>81344824
Yes, pretty sure it's canon anyway, that she's the one that introduces Danny and Misty. That's a good way to establish the Danny/Colleen, Misty/Colleen friendship and Danisty.
>She shall be forever know as Colleen Wingman.
>>81344824
>Misty looses arm in Luke Cage finale
>In Iron Fist Danny wants his company to do good so they start investing on health instead of whatever the fuck they do
>Gives robot arm to a policewoman who has lost her arm
>Coulson brings in one of his spare ones upon request after Danny pulls some strings (Clark Gregg really loves Iron Fist)
>Misty thanks Danny and asks him to help her brotha' Luke out with a medical problem
>Danny meets Luke
And then they fuck.
>>81344227
Hollywood may pass them by, but fans will always love their favorites. And pay good money for a photo op & autograph, if you're looking at it purely financially. But I suppose it's also just nice for them to know their work is fondly remembered, especially as they get older.
>>81343907
Holy shit bruv what can you tell us abut Civil War? Are you going to be in the Black Panther movie? I loved you in the Hobbit!
>>81345277
Wow, didn't even notice that.
Just as predicted AA related sub-reddits are upset she's the female lead, and that she being the Asian female lead is gonna hook up with the white lead.
>Post Yfw he hooks up with Misty.
>>81342122
>WMAF confirmed
What betas are writing this?
>>81346359
Do these people not know end game? Holy fuck.
>>81343521
>Around a year ago articles were coming up that Marvel didn't know what to do with the property
Those were so dumb. Like Marvel would just greenlight an Iron Fist show before they had any idea what they were gonna do with it.
>>81346699
Not terribly familiar with IF, who is Colleen typically paired with? I know Danny gets with Misty
>>81346716
There were rumbling those how his mysticism, and how he would fit in with the Streetlevel cast. By his nature he's the Outliner as his origin is rooted in magic not science. Pretty sure in an earlier press release he was meant to be third. I guess they felt audiences needed to be used to actual magic being introduced in MCU first, which hasn't prior up to that point and that's why he's debuting after the Doctor Strange movie.
>>81346920
She's hooked with Scott Summers and Bob Diamond (heh, white dudes.) Don't know who else.
>>81345000
>Clark Gregg really loves Iron Fist
He does? Cool
>>81346699
>he thinks reddit reads
>>81347021
Yeah, Loeb has already said that he'll get Clark Gregg around (even if Coulson doesn't actually show up, he'll be around the filming).
>>81346699
These are the same people that can't see Danny as more than just this origin. So, doubt.jpg
>>81347021
He's his favourite superhero. He talks about it all the time. :3 I believe he also practices Martial Arts.
>>81343907
>Martin Freeman
WTF you doing here?
>>81346924
*rumblings about how
Can someone recommend some good Iron Fist comics?
>>81346389
AsianMasculinity, please. I know you want rep, and you actually might get it with this show, to your surprise.
>>81342122
>coleen wing
>asian
why?
>>81347829
She's always been half asian
>>81347763
His Marvel Premiere run (which this show looks to be based on) for his origin. Heroes for Hire for his relationships. Immortal Iron Fist for the world building. And, The Living Weapon for the character study. ( and Midlife break down).
>>81346699
>>81346359
AAIron Fisters are just triggered by anythung and will continue to hate everything no matter what.
>>81347894
She's actually full. She's canonally half Japanese, half Chinese-American. She's usually just drawn as a hapa (The actress is mixed, herself.) or straight up white. I guess it's the red hair.
>>81347894
Full Asian, if I recall. Just with one Asian-American parent and one native to Asia.
>>81348006
So is this arguing for or against the AAIF situation?
>>81348006
The face that this whole campaign was based on a Strawman of his origin. A straight up fabrication. A lie. Is one of the things that pisses me off the most. It fucking Infuriates me. It's hard to search Iron Fist anywhere without this shit coming up.
They are gonna get an adsolute slap to the face when they watch his show. And, lets be real they will. If only just to nitpick and complain. Then there is gonna be a hell of a lot of backtracker. Like Marvel some how changed it, when its always been canon to the source material.
>tfw used to have cutie Chinese girlfriend named Colleen
>>81348161
Looks to be in favour.
>>81348484
Did she have a BFF named Mercedes?
>>81348974
No idea, I never met her friends.
So Iron Fist is looking pretty hype. I'm hoping for some brutal bonebreaking.
>>81348484
>Michelle
>>81349036
You never met your girlfriend's friends?
The Iron Fist hype is rising. Next minute Davos and the Meachums will be cast. And, Shang if the rumour is correct.
>>81348006
This isn't even his origin.
>>81342745
>>81343035
You're just not rad enough Anons.
>>81342122
>Jessica Henwick
A-April Fools?
>>81347829
Read a comic
>>81350388
S/he probably has, just runs in which she either looks causasian or is proclaimed to be. Like in IIF, when Fraction/Brubaker goofed by having Misty call her a "White girl".
>>81347021
Coulson is the one true Iron Fist
>>81350919
And Deathlok and Misty Knight and Bucky and Tony (to a certain extent) and Rhodes (ditto) and a bunch of others that I may not be remembering.
>>81348339

>No Misty Knight
Da Juice are clearly afraid of showing a black woman be colonized by a strong white male.
>>81351559
Excuse me?
>>81342159
>No love for the redheads

> natural red hair
>>81351848
She dyes it.
>>81351848
Mongolians and south koreans can have natural red hair
>>81352270
They can also dye it, like most people hair.
>>81342861
It was that they hired a black actor and then covered her in CGI.
Oh great, they make another white character asian for no reason
>>81342780
>Soul rape

It stinks of SJW in here.

Nevermind, don't answer that. There's a reason Ariel is a redhead.
looks like a chink
