South Korean-actor Kwon Sang-woo is rumoured to have won the role of ‘Kato’ in Sony’s ”Green Hornet” movie. The production hit a hurdle a month ago or so when Stephen Chow vacated the role.

Actor Seth Rogen, playing the titular character, has been on the lookout for a martial-arts trained Asian actor to take his place. According to Latino Review, Sang-woo has the job!

The 32-year-old has a background in martial-arts, and has appeared in such actioners as ”The Spirit of Jeet Kune Do” and the TV series “Into the Sun”.

“Green Hornet”, directed by Michael Gondry, will star Rogen, Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz.
