Did he not maintain his MCU physique? He looks gaunt in the face.

A book about him called African Samurai just came out last week if anyone is interested.

Oh awesome, thank you for the heads up!
They have it my Barnes & Noble, so I'll definitely pick it up this weekend.

According to legend, Yasuke is the only person of non-Asian origin to become a Samurai.

Uhm.. what about Thomas Xenu Cruise?

Lmao I was just thinking of that awful Last Samurai movie

Or 47 Ronin. I think they even said Keanu's character was half-Japanese there when he's not IRL. Hollywood seems afraid to cast a Japanese lead in a samurai film so this is only a marginal step up imo.

Remeber when Matt Damon saved the Chinese from the monsters of Peter Jacksons' King King?

That sounds awesome!
