Marvel should cast him as The Thunderer in 'Iron Fist'


Seriously.

Marvel grovels to China anyway, why not cast Donnie in an appropriately bad-ass mentor role?

The heck are you on about? Marvel's chief, Kevin Feige, is basically actively keeping out all East Asian heroes out of the Marvel movies.

He has to be dragged kicking and screaming to have ANY Asian representation in his movies. Geez even Wong was a last minute add on in the Dr.Strange movie. He was only put in because people were up in arms over the Ancient One whitewash.

If you see any Asians in Marvel movies in the future you can bet it was the Disney guys that twisted Feige's arm.
