It’s certainly not a new thing but studios really seem to be making a point of including Asian actors in blockbusters right now.

…then cutting trailers to push them front and centre (p.s. I’m well aware that Byung-hun Lee is Korean)

GI: Joe 2 – Retaliation, or however they choose to punctuate it, will be along in the summer.
