They already cast a black guy as Black Panther, LOL. Why do people keep using that as an example.

And it's already been answered. The studios are more okay with making white people into minorities than the vice versa because there's never been any shortage of roles for white actors in Hollywood, and certainly not a lack of white superheroes onscreen.

I said it once before i'll say it again and i'll use your words as well.. "race swapping " a character for the sake of being diverse and trying to appeal to a crowd that may or may not be there is just a poor decision as a director or whomever that is producing that movie or tv show.

When they do things half ass or try to take a short cut, that will lead to whatever show or movie flopping big time.

Really?

Because the Flash made the female lead and her father, both of whom are white in the comics, black. The show has been a huge hit for the CW and is already on its second season.

Elementary made Watson from the Sherlock Holmes novels into an Asian woman. It proved to be a big hit for CBS and is on its fourth season.

Daredevil has been one of the most critically acclaimed entries in the whole MCU, and it made Ben Urich black and cast an Asian woman as Elektra.

The Battlestar Galactica reboot is one of the most critically acclaimed sci-fi shows of all time, and it made Boomer Asian and Starbuck into a woman.

Smallville, despite being crappy, made Martian Manhunter and Pete Ross black and cast an Asian woman as Lana Lang, the female lead. It made it to ten seasons.

True Blood was a massive success for HBO and made one of the major characters, Tara, black.

Arrow is on its fourth season and has a Maori actor from New Zealand playing Deathstroke, who is supposed to be a white American.

The Shawshank Redemption was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the 90's and won multiple Oscar nominations, and it had Morgan Freeman playing a main character who was a redheaded Irishman in the novel.

And the response to the first Suicide Squad trailer has been very positive despite a black man playing Deadshot.

How many MCU movies have we had now with Sam Jackson as Nick Fury?

But wait...how can that be? It's almost like most of the people watching it really don't care about that!

I wanna see the new Legends Scarlet Witch that was allegedly shown at Nuremberg.
