Now, bring on the sexy for Scorpina!!

Wasn't she played by a Latin woman for 2/3rd's of the show anyway?

Trini's the one I expected everyone to be bitching about because she's actually Asian in the show.

And it totally works for me, can't wait to see what she brings to the role.

Yup. Having a bigger name actor in the movie helps getting audiences interested who wouldnt have paid attention to the movie otherwise.

And I'm just sitting here laughing at the Social Justice brigade whining about a white woman being cast. This is fucking hilarious to me.

Huh. Guess this is where they're spending the casting money :) I only know her from Scrubs, but she was good in that, I guess.
