Last week we reported that Deadpool star Ed Skrein had been cast as Major Ben Daimio in the upcoming Hellboy reboot.
Ed Skrein released a full statement regarding his departure from the Hellboy reboot on Twitter.
Even though it looked as though the Hellboy reboot was going to be another example of the same problem, Ed Skrein has done something truly amazing and is walking away from a role in a potentially massive franchise so an Asian actor can have that opportunity instead.
Ed Skrein has now made it so the studio is going to have to recast the role of Ben Daimio, and possibly in a hurry.
