Hypothetically, if they could get the Rock to play Namor, they probably would cast someone like the Rock, who is half-Samoan/half-African American.

So you're rocking the long hair while your wife is rocking the goatee?
No, because he was drawn in a way that made him appear generally Asian.
If he was drawn as a black guy or Hispanic, I'd want a black guy or Hispanic to play him.
Considering how few Asians there are in the MCU, I don't see why he should be changed. Particularly not if your reasoning is he uses a fighting style that appears Asian and you don't want to have an Asian using an Asian fighting style.
Keep in mind "Martial Art" is a general term. American Boxing is a form of martial art. Karate is Japanese. Taekwondo is Korean, Kung Fu is Chinese.
There's a reason we see many Asians using Asian fighting styles . . . because Asian fighting styles come from Asia.
Karnak's always been drawn ethincally ambiguous.
And that last statement isn't true. Hollywood always pigeonholes Asian actors into playing martial arts characters (and that's been something they've been criticizing for a long time). It's okay if you have Asians doing martial arts, but you should also counterbalance that by providing opportunities to have other roles. I say let Karnak be cast with a different race and have Gorgon or Triton be made Asian.
I've said it before, I am 100% down for Asian Namor. I mean look at those eyebrows.
I just read an interview on CBM where Toby Kebell is saying Trank's cut is a "great film you'll never see." He also says it was a "much darker version." I know a lot of people will groan at that but, damn, I would have liked to see this cut if only to see what the more complete film would have been because the TC we got is very obviously unfinished. If only Trank didn't open his big mouth, we could have had a chance to see it.
Then again, maybe I'm the only one who cares to see it anyway.
Namor reacts to seeing FFINO's neutered Thing.
Ben is a small mousey guy instead of the large football player war hero he was in the comics

One of my favorite parts about this whole FFINO trainwreck was the one trailer where Miles Teller refers to Jamie Bell as "the muscle" and we get a shot of him hitting a baseball at a neon sign as if we're supposed to think he's the bruiser of the group, when we all have eyes and can clearly tell that Jamie Bell is 5' 7", maybe a buck seventy soaking wet.

Sue didn't even get to go on the trip to the other dimension.
Trank really likes borrowing stuff from Akira.
It's like the whole movie is bits and pieces taken from other films . . .
. . . and then edited together by a drunk chimpanzee.
I remain convinced that Trank's initial inclination was to write Sue out of the story entirely. Or, alternatively, that the script really did start life as Chronicle 2, which had an entirely male main cast with no Sue equivalent at all.
