While I can see what you're saying with that, I don't think it's going that way at all and all in all, most of the big name black directors have done movies that weren't just about black people (if they even had any at all at that), so I don't really think pigeonholing has anything to do with this choice. However, for a movie about a character like this, I'd most certainly prefer it to done by a black director and I think everyone and their momma that has any knowledge of the character feels just the same, even if they were white, in order to get it right. Doesn't mean that a black director is guaranteed to make this movie successfully or that any other race director is auto-doomed, but I definitely believe the chances are more in favor for sure.

Feige innovated movies with the shared universe concept which many studios are copying. get in line with his vision or keep it moving.
'In Feige we Trust'. <- that's a thing you know. lol
There were jokes in every issue of Priest's run. Funny enough the Marvel tone fits the character well.
That's what Marvel have been doing with black comic writers too. They only get black writers to write black characters regardless if its a good fit. Priest left the comics business because they only put him on black books.
The fact that Ava is only being considered for the "Diversity" movies should annoy everyone. Maybe its because I've been seeing Marvel do this shyt for years that's turning me off with this.
Seen them do the same shyt which is why I'm partially annoyed.

Marvel's been doing this on the comic front and will probably continue doing so in the MCU, exceptions aside. That won't change anytime soon, no point hoping otherwise.
Regardless, the focus here is the BP movie. We all want a great BP film to happen. And considering the nature of the character and its mythos, it makes perfect sense for them to look into a director who's black that can do the job up to standard. Obviously they won't just pick anybody.
Sure they can look at anyone regardless of background, and maybe they are, it's all rumors at this point. But if a director who's black is picked, it doesn't mean he / she isn't the best person for the job.

I understand your pov on the bolded but at the same time Im happy the sister is getting a chance to join the marvel universe and I wouldn't be comfortable seeing a cacs version of wakanda tbh
See that's the point I don't get. A bunch of his mythos weren't made by black creators so why does the person need to be black?
I know a bunch of posters will say shyt about c00nery without making a solid reply to my post but whatever.
Its a want not a need
