Shinkoda says the writers themselves were “very apologetic” about cutting the plotline.Īccording to The Terror actor, Loeb pointed to the Blade movie trilogy, which includes 1998’s Blade, 2002’s Blade II, and 2004’s Blade: Trinity, as a template for a story in which a Marvel hero, in this case a sword-wielding vampire hunter, kills numerous Asian “bad guys” who don’t require a backstory. Jeph Loeb told the writers’ room not to write for Nobu and Gao, and this was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners, that nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people.” The story line, he recalls, involved his character gaining access to a different country under the guise of needing a transplant. “I’m not into really protecting certain things anymore. “I’m kind of reluctant to say this, but I’m going to take this moment, but I have to because … because I just have to,” The Man in the High Castle actor says. Per Entertainment Weekly, in a Saturday livestream featuring performers from Netflix’s erstwhile Daredevilseries, actor Peter Shinkoda alleges Jeph Loeb, then-head of Marvel Television, made the show’s writers drop a story line starring his character, Nobu, because “nobody gives a shit” about Asian characters.
