:yeshrug:It’s pointless and lazy to race swap iconic comic book characters. Like Mags, DOOM, and Pro. X. Let lesser known black comic characters have some time to shine.
agreed,
the benefit to this approach, is if they do become popular, They become a permant fixture in the comicbook world (ala what wesley snipes did with blade) bumped blade up to the a list.
Whereas the race swapped characters usually go right be to being white again by the next reboot, (ala johnny storm)

Miss me with that race swap nonsense.

Like Denzel wouldn't kill it as Magneto....

Esposito is a great actor, giving him bit parts with small f-list black characters doesn't give him a chance to flex.

:ehh:I’m saying, there’s plenty of black comic book characters. Who’ll never reach the big screen because bruhs. Would rather have a race swapped character, instead of an established black one.

:mjlol:Who said that he wouldn’t killed the role? I know for a fact that Denzel would kill it. But race swapping Magneto is fukking stupid lol. And I’m sure that Blade was a “who or F-listed” character before Snipes came through.

They gave Idris Elba a BS role. (Meanwhile Paul Rudd got to star in 3 mid movies...I digress)

They're probably doing the same thing to Giancarlo.

You hung up on "race" swapping and elevating z-list black characters drawn into the background - and I'm focusing on getting great Black Actors into great roles because those lead to good movies.
