    Wow I remember hearing that a decade ago. I like Ray Park but does he have the acting ability to carry a whole movie? I'm not sure I've ever seen him in a scene with actual dialogue.

    Any money they'll get Jason Statham to play him and the movie will be an epic fail!

    He hasn't. He said maybe.... four lines top in X-Men (and they were short, brief, and far apart). The voice of Darth Maul wasn't Ray Park. 
     
    I mean, the guy certainly has the skills to do it. Nobody is doubting that. But acting? That is what worries me.

    I don't think Park has the acting shops to be Iron Fist. I kinda think the real mystical kung-fu stuff will be special effects anyway so I'd rather they find an actor who can pull it off and teach him martial arts rather than finding a martial artist and try to teach him to act.

    if you watch Heroes, he talks - he'll need a speech coach to learn to drop the accent, but the ideal's just too perfect - Ray Park = Daniel Rand

    yes, but he is a superb martial artist, and it would be next to impossible to teach somebody what he knows without YEARS of work - next to Jet Li, Park's one of the world's premiere mainstream actor/wushu practitioners, and I'd at least like to see him in the suit - they could at the very least do it with another actor for the talking scenes and have him do the fight scenes.   besides, Ray Park is YUM-MIE :) - and I think he could already with an acting and speech coach

    Yeah, the only thing he's got is the skills, but nothing else.
