Shinkoda plays, Nobu Yoshioka who is part of the Hand in the series. During a panel with fellow actors Geoffrey Cantor and Tommy Walker, Shinkoda talked about how there was a story about Nobu in the works that dove deeper into his relationship with Madame Gao but it as scrapped”. He was clearly reluctant to talk about it at first, but that reluctance was quick to go away because he felt that he had to say something.
“Jeph Loeb told the writers room not to write for Nobu and Gao…and this was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners,” Shinkoda said. “He said, ‘Nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people. There were three previous Marvel movies, a trilogy calledthat was made where Wesley Snipes killed 200 Asians each movie. Nobody gives a sh*t so don’t write about Nobu and Gao.'” As a result, the storyline was dropped.
This adds to the alleged unprofessional behavior by show creators and producers on sets of comic book projects. Ray Fisher said the following aboutJoss Whedon’s on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional and completely unacceptable. He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. Accountability>Entertainment.
Fisher also took to Twitter to support Shinkoda, saying “Our industry will not advance unless we are willing to speak the names of those preventing it from doing so! Thank you for standing up and speaking out @PeterShinkoda I stand with you.” Watch the #SaveDaredevilCon panel below. Shinkoda starts talking about Loeb’s alleged comments at the 10-minute mark.
im ashamed to be Jewish each time people like Jeph Loeb put a stain on our community
Boo hoo
This you yesterday? Thanks for deleting but still racist, sexist, and ageist. Wow the trifecta all in what 3 lines? I’m in my 30s with a doctorate btw and most ARMY are similar considering the music is based on Carl Jung and similar psych, literary, and artistic principles
With China destined to be the world biggest movie market I doubt if this will be there case going forward. I just hope all the other under represented groups be brought up as well in this movement.
larryfong The role of Mandrin was played by a British Indian wo actually wasn't even the real Mandrin. It was a White guy with a dragon tattoo 😂. MCU does diversity for brownie points . Like Capt Marvel , BW . They don't actually care .
larryfong At this day and age, this should not be happening. Wtf!!
PeterShinkoda that's no news MarvelStudios never cared about asians, in ten years of MCU there have barely been any asian characters, just with casting the ancient one with a female caucasian shows how much they don't care
same with your articles
- Asia deserves the criticism.
Though you have to give it the benefit of the doubt, to be honest Loeb is a shitty dude.
