Now, bring on the sexy for Scorpina!!

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

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.
