It's a pity the few well known thief characters in Marvel are all under Sony control as part of the X-Men and Spider-man contracts, because reading up on Ant-man has enamored me to the idea of a Marvel movie that isn't a superhero film, but instead a film following some thieves pulling a heist, Ocean's 11/Italian Job style, on a known Marvel character, where the heroic figure only appears for a few minutes total at best. Black Cat or Gambit leading a team or z-list comic thieves on a heist to steal from Tony Stark or SHIELD could be cool as hell. I suppose they could do it on the Fantastic Four instead, but Sony don't seem to have quite the touch with films that Marvel has at the moment. Not to say they're perfect, but they're at least always entertaining action films.

Isn't The Hood still owned by Marvel? I remember him being pretty lovely, but he's a thief. I think.

Indians play Arabs all the time in Hollywood for example. I don't think Red from Orange is not black has Russian ancestry either.

It's possible they just straight-up made the character half-Japanese.

Not that you have to be Japanese to use sai... I know nothing about Elektra that wasn't in the DD film or the horrible Elektra spinoff from that. I actually forgot that movie existed for a minute.

Having watched half a season I have to say I really dig the show. Wilson so far is exactly the way I imagine him. And pretty much any scene with him is perfect.
