    I think once the X-Men enter the scene you have a HUGE pile of characters to choose from. I’m not super familiar with Sunfire but from what I do know his Japanese background is an important part of the character. I’d be hesitant to just remove it.

    However as an ancestor of Sunfire that could be fine.

    I think “Amadeus Cho” works of you’re looking for a Korean American role. Although realistically I don’t think Yeun is actually good for that role. I think he is a little too old and while I know he can play that character (since Invincible is roughly the style we’re going for) I don’t see it working in live action.

    I think as an actor there are A LOT of roles he could fit into. I do wish we got to see him in a more villainous role since that is one I don’t quite see when I think of him. In any case I expect he’ll find an alternative role soon enough.

      It’s amazing when you consider the X-Men started as a base of six characters then ballooned out into hundreds. Definitely room for all sorts of casting.

      I still want Keanu Reeves as Mister Sinister. :)
