On April 12th, Jisin released an article that revealed Mackenyu Arata was cast as a lead of a popular Japanese live action adaptation by Hollywood, scheduled to be shot from May next month. His casting was decided 2 years ago. His salary is rumored to exceed 100 million yen.
In comparison to Watanabe Ken's salary, which was reported to be 10 million yen at the time he star in The Last Samurai, this is a massive number. This work is said to be a full-scale production, that Mackenyu is welcomed with exceptional favorable treatment
Sonny Chiba further affirms this in his interview on April 22nd. He revealed that during the time Mackenyu star in Pacific Rim Uprising, he received 1 or 2 lead role offers from Hollywood.
"When Macken co-star with Eastwood's eldest son in Pacific Rim Uprising in 2018, I was told that he has one or two lead roles lined up after that. Of course, I hope more Japanese actors can make it to Hollywood, not just Macken. I only gave him advice what to do in Japan & how to go there (when he asked for it). Well, Macken seems to know about both Japan & the US (ent industry). I don't tell him what to do everytime something comes up. I just told him to do what he wants & I'll back him up if needed."
