I knew they would cast Kikuchi as the japanese character. I dont know how but i [frick]ing knew it!;)
Not like a hate her or anything but i would have liked to see Tadanobu Asano in this role. That guy needs bigger roles.

Anyway cant wait these movies!

And yeah Charlie Hunnam as Green Arrow! And The Crow in the new film!
