it's nice adding more to the Hollywood "Asian" actor pool. Maybe we can see the really acting skills of Japanese actors without the over dramatic style they use in J-drama/movies that some what is a turn-off for me.

As much as I'm happy for him, the fact that so many people are being added to this movie it makes me think that the whole Godzilla V Kong scenes might be short and the movie will be focus more on the humans character than the monsters.

While I do agree Asians and Asian-Americans do need more exposure in Hollywood projects, them having a low population presence in this country accounts in part for why we don't see more of them in movies and TV shows.

Except Kong isn't a Japanese franchise, and neither is this production.
