Voice acting is an imaginative talent. A true talented voice actor sees drawings and comes up with a original voice and sound that gives life to the character, it doesn’t matter what race or nationality they are. Its wrong to base work availability on race. It’s like saying Holly Chou can ONLY voice Asian characters.
Should have done a full reboot. Catherine Disher won’t be returnig either, Jennifer Hale will be Jean. Norm Spencer and magneto actor are no longer with us. I m also worried its gonna be outdated.
I guess I might have been either too young or not as perceptive and aware of the world as I have always believed myself to be as I honestly can’t fathom being so concerned or knowledgeable about the series while I was watching and as a fan at that age and time. I mean, beyond knowing that the cartoon was obviously voiced by real people who were considered voice actors the only opinions or thoughts I had about it was maybe regarding the storyline and how much I liked the animatics. That being said, now that I’m older and much more aware about things I’m general….
I think it’s pretty amazing and shows the production team and everyone involved of course including the voice actress for Jubilation Lee are very progressive in their thinking and trying to do good things by showing in their actions how we can and should be treating others and ourselves through reasonable considerations. I think it’s very respectable for the original voice actress to be so cooperative and understanding about stepping aside and allowing an Asian actress to have the opportunity to portray a role of a character whose also Canonically Asian as well seeing as the only reason the original cast didn’t was because the world and profession weren’t as “woke” and equal opportunity minded as we have been able to become today and it takes people like this production team and that voice actress to keep us moving on that direction by doing just as they are right now. Good job people!

Today I learned Jubilee was Asian.
Also its nonsense when they make casting choices like this because someone’s race doesn’t match.
