Daniel Dae Kim, who recently left CBS? ?Hawaii Five-O? over salary disputes, is in talks to replace Ed Skrein in the upcoming reboot of ?Hellboy,? TheWrap has confirmed. The negotiations come after Skrein stepped down from the role amidst whitewashing claims. Skrein was to play Major Ben Daimio, a Japanese-American character in the original ?Hellboy? comics. Daimio is a former Marine who, after a failed rescue mission in Brazil, receives a mysterious curse that transforms him into a were-jaguar at night. ?I accepted the role unaware that the character in the original comics was of mixed Asian heritage,? Skrein wrote on Instagram.
