Marvel Studios: Here is your Nico Minoru for 'Runaways.'

She's got the look? You mean, Asian? Other than that, I don't see anything about her that makes her particularly suited for the part (not that she's ill-suited, either, other than the fact that Nico is 15 and Japanese and Ellen is 25 and Chinese).I have to say, I agree. I love Ellen and used to really enjoy Runaways but the two characters being Asian females isn't enough to cast Ellen as Nico. Aside from that, comic artists are notoriously inconsistent when it comes to Asian and Hispanic characters, so it wouldn't surprise me if the casting director just cast a white actress as a total cop-out.
