The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been 13 years since 2008's "Iron Man 1" and has countless fans around the world, arguably the most successful pop culture output by Hollywood in the past decade.
"Avengers 4" accounts for a quarter of the total box office in China, which is not one of Marvel's largest overseas film markets.
Marvel refreshed the box office for a single superhero movie after launching its first black superhero, Black Panther, in 2018.
"Captain America" looked down, "Thor" watched the tears "Iron Man" watched the sigh, "Hulk" watched and did not want to become a normal person, because the color box office is better.
With such a good box office, a superhero movie aimed at Asians was naturally projected. "Shangqi" came into being, and it is a Chinese hero. The plot is unknown now, but his casting really does not dare to compliment.
The male protagonist is also counted, but the choice of the female protagonist is really unbearable for the audience, after all, from what point of view, she is not a beauty in the eyes of Asians.
Even from the perspective of Asian women in Marvel's own previous films, this casting is definitely problematic. Below I can take a look at the Asian women who appeared in the previous Marvel movies, all of whom are stronger than the heroines of "Shangqi".
The first Captain Marvel Minerva – Gemma Chen
Jama Chen, whose real name is Chen Jing, played Yao Sulin in the suspense drama "Sherlock Season 1" in 2010
In 2012, he participated in the fantasy adventure film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in 2017, playing the creator Quintasha in the sci-fi action film Transformers 5: The Last Knight
In 2019, playing the villain Minerva in the sci-fi action film "Captain Marvel",
Playing so many important roles in commercial films, Hollywood casting directors can not consider because of her good acting skills, a lot of it should be his Asian face and in line with their aesthetic looks,
The second "Guardians of the Galaxy" mantis sister - Pang Clementev Pang Clementev's mother is Korean, although her appearance is not amazing, it is also beautiful
In 2013, he participated in the thriller film "Old Boys" and entered the North American film industry with this film
In 2017, the superhero movie "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" starring him, the most silly big Drax official, the appearance of silly white sweet mantis sister should also be the type that Europeans and Americans like, after all, if silly white sweet has no appearance, then this role is really a bit redundant.
The third S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Daisy Johnson, Wang Keying.
In 2012, Wang Keying starred in the musical series "The Land of Music".
In 2014, with the science fiction drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1", there are not many film and television works, and she looks directly at the photos, which belongs to the kind of Asian faces that look more and better.
The fourth Wolverine 2 Mariko - Tatsumi Okamoto
Although the film is not produced by Marvel, the comic belongs to Marvel and focuses on the Asian market, and the actresses in it also represent hollywood studios' aesthetic of Asian women. Tatsuo Okamoto is a Japanese actor and model who starred in the 2013 superhero film Wolverine 2
In April 2014, he joined Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, playing the secretary of supervillain Lex Luthor
In 2018, joined "Westworld Season 2"
The fifth "Avengers 2" Dr. Helen Cho - So hyun, South Korean actor, starred in the 2015 film "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", in which he played Tony Stark's friend "Helen Cho"
In November 2018, he starred in the movie "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" as Nagini
South Korea's beauty pageant champion, the appearance of the face is naturally speechless.
Sixth X-Men: Reverse Future Flash - Fan Bingbing
This movie is the most popular Hollywood movie scene played by Fan Bingbing, and Bingbing's performance and appearance in the film are affirmed by European and American audiences.
The seventh S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Melinda May – Wen Mingna
In 1998, Wen Mingna voiced the role of Mulan in the Disney animated feature film Mulan, and was also selected by People magazine as one of the fifty beauties in the world.
In 2000, she was nominated for the Asian American Film award for Best Television Actress for her performance in "Spring in the Emergency Room".
In 2001, he voiced the heroine in the animated film Final Fantasy.
In 2013, Wen Mingna played Agent Mei in AgentS.H.I.E.L.D. and won the 2014 American People's Choice Award for "Most Popular Drama Actress in a New Drama Series"
Although he is almost in his fifties, his appearance when he was young is still very resistant, especially he once dubbed the cartoon "Mulan", hollywood animation production is still very rigorous, and the animation roles are generally similar to the voice actors.
However, although the heroine of "Shangqi" is very similar to the Mulan animation in the cartoon "Mulan", she does not resemble Wen Mingna at all.
