Daredevil actor calls out Marvel over Racism
Marvel TV’s former head Jeph Loeb finds himself in some hot water this week as Daredevil Actor Peter Shinkoda has some very heavy accusations about what was going on at Marvel TV,
Shinkoda plays, Nobu Yoshioka who is part of the Hand in the series. During a panel with fellow actors Geoffrey Cantor and Tommy Walker, Shinkoda talked about how there was a story about Nobu in the works that dove deeper into his relationship with Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) but it as scrapped”. He was clearly reluctant to talk about it at first, but that reluctance was quick to go away because he felt that he had to say something.
“Jeph Loeb told the writers room not to write for Nobu and Gao…and this was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners,” Shinkoda said. “He said, ‘Nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people. There were three previous Marvel movies, a trilogy called Blade that was made where Wesley Snipes killed 200 Asians each movie. Nobody gives a sh*t so don’t write about Nobu and Gao.'” As a result, the storyline was dropped.
