I think Ludi Lin (Zach from Power Rangers 2017) would make an excellent choice. He's young, handsome, and charismatic, and was one of the better characters in the Power Rangers reboot. Doesn't hurt that playing the Black Ranger also gave him a little bit of martial arts experience as well.

That said about Lin...can't say that I'm all that excited. Meh. I applaud the forward thinking, though I would have been happier if they would have went with Silk instead. Would have been easier to introduce her as well, with her origin being directly tied to Spidey. I'd rather have Marvel working it over Sony, who is rumored to be looking into doing it on their own as part of their extended Sony Spider-Verse.

It doesn't help that 90 percent of the well known Asian characters happen to be tied with the X-Men franchise in some way, and Disney is not quite able to work with them yet.

On a side note, would be a good opportunity to bring in the first of our cancelled Netflix heroes in Iron Fist for a cameo, or even as something central to the plot.

Most notably a major element of his origin as a ward and apostolate of Fu Manchu. Yeah, that can't be brought foward in telling his story.

Normally, I'm a proponent of telling these stories 'warts and all,' but that dog ain't gonna hunt...With that bit being changed, along with some other minor tweaks, I look foward to the flick.

Precisely what I thought. No way will that fly these days.
