BuzzFeed: At any point during the casting of Danny Rand, was there a discussion of casting an Asian of half-Asian actor? Especially considering Iron Fist was created in 1974, a time when we didn’t think about cultural appropriation the way we do now?
Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel TV: To answer that, just really flat out, the way the story is told and when people see the story, the importance of Danny as an outsider is something that is a theme that runs throughout the entire show, so I think once they see it, they’ll understand why the story is told the way it’s told.
HEY GUESS WHAT
EAST ASIAN-AMERICANS CAN TELL YOU HOW THEY ARE STILL OUTSIDERS IN THEIR OWN CULTURE BC OF THEIR AMERICAN IDENTITIES
SO FUCK RIGHT OFF
