I don’t believe in race swapping in movies 🎥 but what you think about this change 🤔 it would be interesting but it will get lots upset 😠

Not mad at it, especially because of the talent level of both actors, however I don't think it's necessary. Be more interested to see something with the existing black characters.

if you have to change the characters backstory to match the race. might as well use an entirely different character. making magneto black would be like making black panther white. Instead of wakanda he'd be from ireland. at which point he's just a new character.
:salute:Facts there’s plenty of black mutants they could push to the mainstream. Yet bruhs are asking for race swapped characters.

:mjlol:Yes it does because regardless of backstory, lore, reasons, etc. she’s a fictional character that could be written as anything. I mean the punisher turned black before lol.
You can't be this daft :comeon:

Think of all the white marvel heroes. Now think of all the black marvel heroes.

Imagine we swap so that every white hero is now black and vice versa

Of all the white heroes now, how many can you name?

Yep, Marvel comics and X-men in particular have always been pretty diverse in the comics. All you need to do is promote the existing black characters more.
Not take popular white ones and make them black for the length of an actors contract before going back to being white again like they do with cat women every other portrayal.

Dozens of genocides have occurred since the Holocaust. Making Magneto…Bosnian doesn’t change much
I actually thought this was the way to go, because Pietro and Wanda suffered through war in the 90's in the present MCU. They can tie on all the Sakovia bullshyt from Age of Ultron.

Only catch is, they don't seem like they're going with Magneto as their father anymore.

But they're supposed to be old

Both denzel and Giancarlo have at least 20 years left of acting.

Patrick and Ian are 80 breh, lol. Not quite the same

Professor X works but like others said the Holocaust (if we really believe it’s real :troll:) it’s too woven into magneto. unless you make him a black Jew

There’s not a lot of genocides that instantly come to mind and resonate with the rest of the world. Mention Armenia, Rwanda, or Cambodia and see if this generation knows.

There isn't any mainstream outcry over race swapping until White roles got swapped. Jesus Christ is the most portrayed character in all of cinema, yet less than 5% of the time has an actual Jewish person played the role. No one ever complains. But when Blair Underwood took on the role for a short film, White folks publicly complained. Pale British White people played Egyptians for years, and no one was the wiser, but a Black woman portrayed Cleopatra, and it broke the internet. A Black woman playing Cleopatra got more internet engagement than a White man playing Michael Jackson. See the pattern?

Still need to cast young so they be around for the 4th or 5th movie. Denzel is 69. 10 years older than Patrick Stewart was when he first played xavier. By the time he gets casted and they film an X-men movie he'll be like 73. then damn near 80 himself by the time they get to a sequel.
