At the end of the day the director looked out for his homie and gave him the role. Which has been happening in Hollywood forever. And explains why, Seth Rogen and all Adam Sandlers' SNL friends even have film careers.

Jordan is a talented actor, who has delivered in every role he's gotten so far. So who cares? If it bothers you that much, JUST DONT WATCH THE MOVIE. Problem solved.

God I want this movie to be so successful just for the nerd tears:wow:I think it was when I saw nikkas legitimately hating on Hugh Jackman being Wolverine because he's too tall that I realized the worst thing affecting comic book movies are comic book nerds. Ol Gollum ass nikkas obsessing over the most minute bullshyt. Guess what, if you want the comics read the fukking comics. Johnny Storm is still white in every issue:mjpls:

Nah, this is dumb..

It makes no sense.. How you just gonna make the Torch black but Sue is white :laff:

Just make Johnny white.. This is some clumsy ass affirmative action shyt, B

It's 2015.

The director: "And I thought it would be interesting to take the family dynamic of the Storms, which is brother and sister, and bring that more into the 21st century in terms of what we consider the norm. I have mixed family in my own family and it’s something that isn’t out of the ordinary anymore but we don’t really see it portrayed in the casual reality of the movies. That’s something I felt that would be interesting and challenging, to have mixed siblings."

To add to this in the interview Josh Trank states he has a adopted family as well.
