Iron Man 2 Olivia Munn Has Been Cast!

[The Original Bamfer]

Can you people not post so much pr0n?
My door is wide open and my parents could walk by.

So, either shut your door or tell your parents to grow up.

Even less sensible to have her as Rumiko. Chinese and Japanese are not the same thing.

That doesn't make any sense. By that standard an English person shouldn't play a German or a Russian. It happens all the time and it works. No reason the Chinese/Japanese thing wouldn't as well.

I agree, we see actors all the time from other countries play characters of different nationalites, watch Blackhawk Down some time, alot of those actors where from England and Austraila and they played better Americans than the American actors.
It's great to see Olivia Munn on board IM2, most likely she will be a tech reporter inviewing Stark, but her as Rumiko would be awesome, IMO.

By that logic, Australian actor Hugh Jackman should not of played Canadian Wolverine or British actor Hugh Lauire should not be playing American Dr. House.

Pfffffttt....that's nothing

One time my sister was rummaging through my room and found a nudie magazine then went down stairs where I was with my entire family (aunt, uncle, grandfather, mother, father) and went "What's this doing in your room?"

 

[kedrell]

^Eww, I'd have killed her for that.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I rolled up the magazine and whacked her in the head for it, that's gotta count for something

 

[kedrell]

^Good enough.

 

[bossman550]

lol

 

[Aluchak]

Thats what you get for keeping a Nudie magazine in your room.
Haven't you ever heard of the INTERNET?

The internet isn't that old......I used to have porno mags when I was a kid. Most houses didn't have the internet till like '97, and looking up porn sucked till cable and dsl came out

 

[Aluchak]

I read his profile. Hes 21.
Unless he was a child having a pr0n magazine, I doubt he didn't have internet.

 

[Wiseman]

The thought of checking his profile never even crossed my mind. I guess that does change things

 

[Iron_Stark]

She's part Chinese.

She should be Mandarin's daughter then.

Vile is correct, as usual - you are correct, sir.

That doesn't make any sense. By that standard an English person shouldn't play a German or a Russian. It happens all the time and it works. No reason the Chinese/Japanese thing wouldn't as well.

By that logic, Australian actor Hugh Jackman should not of played Canadian Wolverine or British actor Hugh Lauire should not be playing American Dr. House.

Flawed logic.

A causasian actor can play English, American, Australian, Russian, Scandanavian etc as their features are largely similiar. Chinese and Japanese people have different features and do not look the same. They are easily distinguishable. Same goes for Thai, Tibetan, Mongolian.............

Seriously, the logic that says orientals kinda look the same, meaning that a Chinese person can therefore play a Japanese person, is like saying an actor who has a tan can play a character who is half-caste.

Tell you what - try going up to a Chinese person and asking whereabouts in Japan they're from (or vice-versa) and see their reaction.

That should be fun.

This late in the production she's probably playing Stark arm candy with one or two lines.

No, he's not.

Wrong. Maybe to asians the difference is apparent, but it sure isn't to the rest of us and that's the overwhelming bulk of the audience.

 

[Crook]

LOL! Hooray for propagating stereotypes and ignorance!

 

[kedrell]

^My pleasure.

 

[PyroChamber]

Funny how we think that because she's been casted that she'll play someone from the comics.

 

[kedrell]

^I don't. I think she'll be playing herself.

^Oh, but the "all white people look alike" comment was ok? How hypocritcal.

If ya'll are done I'm gonna try to get this thread back on track -
