| LivingMetal said: Vulture points out that while a role like Doctor Strange's Ancient One has gone to a white actor--which Feige and director Scott Derrickson said they did to avoid a stereotype--Marvel has cast several actors of color in prominent roles. Chiwetel Eijofor (12 Years a Slave) plays the traditionally white Mordo in Doctor Strange, while Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Beyond) appears in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Zendaya (K.C. Undercover) co-stars in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Tessa Thompson (Creed) features in Thor: Ragnarok, and Lupita Nyong'o (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) appears in Black Panther. Feige added that next year's Spider-Man: Homecoming is a big step forward for the studio in regards to a bigger push for diversity. |
Let me rephrase that:
"Vulture points out that while a role like Doctor Strange's Ancient One has gone to a white actor--which Feige and director Scott Derrickson said they did to avoid a stereotype--Marvel has cast several actors of color in prominent roles....to just black people." lol. (Seriously google the cast they just mentioned, they're all predominately black..and a half lol)
If anybody notice the pattern, here's Hollywood's rule (and seeing these in comic books lately too) of casting for a role based off things: (ie comic books, anime, novels etc..)
1) Since the dawn of time, white actors are always allowed to replace any race.
2) If the role is orginally a white person then Black is the only acceptable race that's allow to replace. (Probably thanks to Obama for making it easier)
3) Characters that were originally a male is ok to change to a female.
4) Characters that were orginally straight is ok to change to gay/lesbian.
Hope nobody gets offended by this but that's what I've noticed.
