Been waiting 25years for this. Ever since I read the book I have been daydreaming about a live action adaptation. And now that it's coming they shoved a black person in our face. Molly was NOT black she was described as having pale white skin.

Casey is good cast, perfect actually. So is Armitage although Strong has a very limited acting ability but I think he can pull it off.

Is he really? I haven't seen him speak in like 15years.

He has accounts on Twitter and Bluesky.

Changing the race of a character is pretty minor, anyway,

Actually no, I feel less connected to the character now.

Hideo, on the other hand, will be played by a Korean-American actor, because who can tell all them Asians apart anyway, amirite?
