Ed Skrein as Major Ben Daimio (Hellboy)

Hollywood’s message was received now, one would think: whitewashing was terrible. Bad. Very awful. However, it seems that Lionsgate has missed the memo while casting the Hellboy remake. The Ben Daimio figure is a revived U.S. navy. He’s also an American-Japanese. Skrein is a white person irrespective of his abilities at Deadpool. At the end of the day, Skrein left the project and described it as “the right thing to do and the only thing to do.”

Jake Gyllenhaal as Dr. Johnny Wilcox (Okja)

When it comes to acting, Gyllenhaal is quite the camel. Do you need an enamored sociopath or a spider fetish guy? He has you covered.  Gyllenhaal could do everything… Except seemingly, Bong Joon-Okja, who’s playing an excessive biologist. Dr. Johnny is a pity for a boy, mainly because of the heartbreaking performance of Gyllenhaal.
