There hasn’t been an official confirmation from Disney nor Marvel regarding the casting of Raja Ilya. Forget Kevin Feige and the super duper higher ups. There wasn’t an announcement from Disney Malaysia representatives either. So, The Hyped Geek decided to contact them.
When we contacted Disney Malaysia in February, they apologised and said there haven’t been any official updates/confirmations from Marvel on Raja Ilya’s involvement. And we contacted them again today, and their response was the same.
So, while Raja Ilya is parading around telling people that she’s going to be starring in a Marvel movie, the people who are sitting behind desks at the Marvel office hasn’t confirmed anything yet.
Okay, before we move on. A quick recap on what we know so far.
In 2015, she said she’s gonna act with Kajol. But till now, no updates.
In February, she said she’s gonna act in a Marvel movie. But till now, no official confirmation, no release date, no movie title.
Okay, time to add more drama to this shizz! The big news that broke a few days ago. She said she’s gonna get PLASTIC SURGERY for her role in the mystery Marvel movie. Just to be clear about something, in her interview, she didn’t actually say that Marvel told her to get plastic surgery. Here’s Raja Ilya’s translated quote from Cinema Online taken from Berita Harian Online.
International film companies are hesitant to accept actors from Asia, especially Muslim talents. Even so, for my career and this golden opportunity, I am willing to take a risk. I still hold my religious virtues and they also know that I’m a Muslim. But I said to them, I can give a little leeway. They like my skin tone and want me to keep it as it is. Even though there’s no forcing, I feel that I need to do some changes to myself in order to be seen as on a par with international artistes.
Note:
No major (or minor) International sites picked this plastic surgery news up. Literally ZERO.
No confirmation from any studio executives or representatives.
Also, let’s think about it for a second. Would it be remotely logical for a major Hollywood studio to ask (or even indirectly indicate) an actor to get plastic surgery? ESPECIALLY the very family friendly, we-support-women-and-diversity-to-the-max company, Disney? Highly unlikely.
I did a quick check on actors going for plastic surgery for a role, and hardly anything significant popped up. In fact, there is this very interesting article by The New York Times that talks about how Hollywood studios prefer actors who didn’t go under the knife. You should definitely check that article out.
So, what does all this say about Raja Ilya’s proclamation?
Well, I won’t call her a liar. Mainly because there aren’t enough facts to prove that she’s lying, but also because my editor advised me against it. But, the facts do indicate that you should take everything with a grain of salt.
Latest update.
Now, it seems like she’s not going for plastic surgery, but something called EMS which will make her look like she’s hitting the gym without actually hitting the gym. According to Berita Harian Online that is.
