I hope Pedro Pascal channels his Oberyn from Game of Thrones

How did white men get to ancient China? Are they both Marco Polo?

Who knows, I'm just stoked to see a Chinese mythology movie backed by US studio dollars.

Also, Ethnic Russians are one of the 55 minorities recognized by Chinese Government within China. So maybe the white guys are Russian or Eastern European?

It would probably be better without Jason Bourne but oh well

[Velocirap31]

I'm confused. Who's the superhero in this movie??

You are right. I don't care that much. If it's a movie where a bunch of soldiers on the great wall are trying to hold the wall against an army of crazy monsters it is going to be a sick film.

[Thorpesaurous]

I suppose Tom Cruise wasn't available.

Why are there no black actors?

This movie is racist as hell

[Nick Young]

Where are the Muslim and transgender pacific islanders?

This movie is one gigantic microaggression.

There actually was a unit of captured Roman legionnaires who made their way to China as mercenaries at some point.

I thought Damon was Leonardo Dicaprio in the movie poster.

There was also some trade between Rome and China, I believe.

Yea, there were already signs of trade between euros and china 1000 years ago. Also evidence of Chinese products in Viking settlements. Regardless, it's a fantasy movie so I'm not looking for historical accuracy.

Cool.

Theses are my favorite movies.

Big army. Combat. On foot or horse.

Era-related.:banana:

The directors can also spin it off as the white dudes were captured slaves sold to some chinese merchants for a pound of silk or something.

I thought it looked horrible.

Came here expecting news about the Donald's wall. Left sorely disappointed.
