So? That doesnt fix the crux of what was supposed to be the issue with these recent films. It doesn't help looking at the rest of the cast. Why is it that characters always switch from Asian and not the other way around?
Apparently Alita: Battle Angel has already started filming

The problem is you're still thinking the character is Asian, or more specifically Japanese, however the whole point of the adaptation to America is to make the characters American. So anybody could've played the role.
As far as the rest of the cast. The role of Hugo, Alita's love interest, is being played by Keenan Johnson in what they describe as "ethnically ambiguous". I'm not sure what his full ethnicity is, but he looks part Asian.
Lana Condor is playing the role of Koyomi
Leonard Wu is playing the role of Kinuba

Why are we acting like James Cameron has made a good film since the 90s?
(I know Cameron is no longer involved, but people seem to be lamenting that for some reason.)

So you scrolled way down to find two people and a white guy who you think 'looks' Asian.
You're really just making the Gits arguments. Its all the same.　Typical Hollywood.
I'm not mad, the movie will probably be shit. Funny how this one doesn't have a star in the lead though.

LOL This legit made me laugh. Hey man, I'm trying. Obviously if you wanted more Asian American representation, then I can understand your disappointment.
The cast is really diverse though.
Because the argument is still valid.
Well, you know how that goes. LOL

huh, weird, was sure that it was still Gunnm for most of europe! Here in france they kept the original names! If we're the minority they'll probably change it here too for the movie, (it's not a big deal, but i hope they'll still keep the original names like the serie we grew up with)
