Daddy Freeze's reaction to 'removal' of actress' name

Reacting to the removal, Daddy Freeze, who stars alongside Akindele in "Industreet," said he was sad when he discovered that her name was taken off the list.

He added that if Marvel knew the kind of publicity the incident has brought them, they would  pay the hacker, find a role for Akindele, and shoot her alongside the cast of "Avengers: Infinity War." 

Apparently Funke AKINDELE was not billed to be a part of the latest #AvengersInfinity. The latest gist is that her pic was put there by a hacker..... - If only Marvel studios knew what the hacker had done for them, they would have found him paid him and quickly contacted @funkejenifaakindele, found a role for her, shot her along with the cast and with the publicity and sales in Africa alone, possibly doubled their income. - I was heart broken when I saw that she was taken off the list........

Responding to Daddy Freeze's post, Tonto Dikeh wrote: "Sad,was so happy) well, she is our Star and we love her regardless..it will happen, this just paved the way I sense it.."
