Re: New Star Trek Series (2017)
I dunno.....after the last year with feigbusters, I'm edgy with hollywood 'buzz words'. I wouldn't put it past them to have a chinese captain in this one to appeal to the china audience either.
especially considering, I think, that china put some money into Beyond too IIRC...
modern hollywood seems run more by committee than what's good for the franchise.
Given that it's likely to be an original story I have no problem with them begin "gender blind", it just means (hopefully) that they don't have their minds already made up on the gender of the characters yet and they'll just case whomever they like best for a given role regardless if they're male or female. It's a much bigger deal if they were making some sort of sequel or reboot and saying that they'll be "gender blind", then I'd say that they're playing SJW and wanting to recast characters as the opposite sex just for the headlines.
