A lack of women actions star and a lack of black action stars. I think we have two things different things happening. A lack of women actions star and a lack of black action stars.

It not like Daredevil where Ben Affleck was the star attraction. Sometimes you need a star to get a film made. I think the real problem is the lack of black women who can carry an action film.

If they think Angelina is going to make them money, then they'll put her in the movie. Anyway, I hope people realize that this is loosely based on the graphic novel, not like 300, or Road to Perdition, or From Hell, which were all exactly like the graphic novels. There's no Professor, Fuckwit, or Mr. Ricktus. So no need to pull the race card. Studios only care about the bottom line.
