        I’m not a Marvel guy, but I’m vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it’s something I only learned of after the movies.

    They’ve got a point. Robert Downey Jr. has played many white roles over the years.

      If Daniel Day Lewis wasn’t retired for the 3rd or 4th time, he’d be all over it. Maybe Christian Bale’s available.

      That is true. They changed him to look like Sam Jackson. And then they started making Marvel movies afterwards, and were able to cast him as Nick Fury.

      The real human homeworld is actually in the Star Wars galaxy.

    It’s just racist. For a long time gay actors were afraid to come out because they would be stuck only playing gay parts (very few).

    Black people need to get together and protest. They need to convince directors that they can play white characters too! Black actors shouldn’t be afraid to come out as black.
