What is this stuff about an Asian doing the role?
I’ve seen two “Hellboy” movies (on TV) and the lead role was done by Ron Pearlman, who did a great job.
One of the characters, Ben Daimio, is a Japanese-American, and they have a British actor playing him. So they’re getting self-righteous over it.
They have a different actor playing the lead role (aka “Anung Un Rama”), David Harbour.
