“I am privy to that storyline, they explained it to me, and they were very apologetic that they couldn’t go through with it, but their hands were tied.
Shinkoda went on to explain that the writers had spoken with him regarding their original plans for Nobu’s backstory. “And they were forced to put their storyline down and drop it.” “Jeph Loeb told the writer’s room not to write for Nobu and Gao, and this was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners, that nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people… so don’t write about Nobu and Gao,” remarked Shinkoda (via CBM), who was joined on the stream by Daredevil co-stars Geoffrey Cantor and Tommy Walker. During a YouTube livestream for SaveDaredevilCon, which aims to add momentum to a potential Daredevil revival, the 49-year-old Canadian actor said Loeb made the writing team drop storylines for his character Nobu and fellow The Hand villain Madame Gao (Wai Ching Ho) during the first two seasons of the show, because “nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people.” Daredevil star Peter Shinkoda says that former Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb made anti-Asian comments to the writers of the popular Netflix series behind the scenes.
