Not meaning to start trouble, but as the games only black/mixed race female could the producer not find a black actress. I'm sure that Kelly will do a good job however it is slightly disappointing

She(Christie) actually looks kinda brazilian to me. And lots of brazilians look white to. But at the same time, she(Kelly) doesn't look like she can pass for anybody from the tropics area. But then again. I don't really care, as long as she's hot and can capoeira I'm happy
P.S. its Christie MonTEIRO I'm not sure if that was a black joke or not. Either way its monteiro ^_^ -

Uhhh, no. Her skin is much closer to white than black. Kind 16d0of a golden tan.

A merry-go-round that can level a small town seems a bit overboard for "self-defense"! -

And actually, there's a picture of Kelly Overton online that looks a lot more like Christie Monteiro, with both the hair color and skin color.

isn't she based off tyra banks. It's more than likely that Cristie is mixed as are most brazilians. Her grandpa is a capoeira master and capoeira is an afro-brazilian thing so more than likely she may have black in her. She does remind me of Jennifer Lopez though. Couldn't they get a girl with a tan though.

I don't think her skin is much closer to black or white. She obviously looks mixed or Latina. And considering she's brazilian, i wouldn't be surprised that she has black in her. Just look at Adrianna Lima who is a mix of Black, white, and native brazilian. She has that same golden tan too.
I am surprised though how you guys don't see the striking resemblance of christie to jennifer lopez.

@EDDIEDEXTER
My point is that as a game Tekken throws up the the majority of the racial spectrum
And the first thing they do in the movie is make the brazillian character a stereotypical LA blond. Isnt that what Nina is there for.
As for the Catwoman remark. It went against typical blockbuster casting to have a non-caucasian as a lead heroic character. And Halle Berry is mixed race. Her mum is a blonde scouser. Even though the film was rubbish. -

I think Christie is a mulatto because she got both african & european features. By the way, her last name is Monteiro not Montenegro (it's a european country)
