Well it will probably get good reviews now.... if they ever change the colour of superman i will be quite annoyed
i think characters should look like they did when they was created not keep changing them
^^^ having said that they changed Men in Black From the comics both of the characters were white that was changed and it worked, also Nick Fury was also white. As for a Black Superman there actually is one.

Let me rephrase what i meant by characters i mean well know characters not many people knew men in black was a comic
also out of all the colour changes nick fury was perfect sam jackson i couldnt think of nick fury being played by anyone else now and thats because unless you read comics not many people knew who he was.
As for superman i obviously meant clark kent superman not other earth superman or the cyborg one there is only one superman and thats clark kent
Still stand by the Men in Black comment regardless of whether people knew about the comic or not it was originally white.
Another example Kingpin in the comics was white on the movie he was black and played Michael Clarke Duncan and was the best thing about the movie he later voiced the character again in the Spiderman animated not the fox one.
Denzil Washington in the The Manchurian Candidate originally Frank Sinatra.
Will Smith in I Am Legend which The Omega Man played Charlton Heston.
Morgan Freeman as Red in the Shawshank Redemption in the book his supposed to a pale skinned Irish man with red hair hence the nickname Red again not many probably know but it’s still originally white but because it’s great film and Freeman a fantastic actor not a word.
Idris Elba character in the Thor films Heindall in the comics is white again regardless of fact people may not know his white.
The Rock played Hercules again his mixed race and mythology of Hercules is his white.
Regardless of the Sam L Jackson knocked out of the park as Nick Fury his still known as being white. The reason why Jackson got the role was in the comics on a alternate Earth Nick Fury was Black and comic artist drew him to look like Sam L Jackson that’s how got the role. Also there was a Nick Fury movie he was white and played by David Hasselhoff.
Oh Batman 89 Billy Dee Williams plays Harvey Dent aka Two Face his white in the comics and Bane in Batman The Dark Knights his white but in the comics his Hispanic and you even know that from the Batman Animated Series.
Perry White is character whether it’s the original Superman films, the 60’s series, the animated series, Lois and Clark and even Smallville yet Lawrence Fishburne played him in Man of Steel again his black everyone knows his white character
All the characters you just listed are either side characters or ones hardly anybody knows and thats fine i dont mind about them
Clark kent/Superman
Bruce wayne/Batman
Diana prince/wonder woman
Professor x
Wolverine
Thor
The joker
Robin hood
Black panther
He-man
Mary poppins
These are what im talking about kal-el established characters the whole world knows not just comic readers which was the point i was making who gives a crap about perry white ? Not many people it would be quite hard to even finds somebody who knows who that is.... if you ask somebody on the street who is bane pretty much all of them will say tom hardy because thats what they know for me bane is a mexican wrestler i didnt really like tom hardys bane (his voice was fun though)
My opinion is you can't change the race of an established identifiable world known character but for the rest do as you will
Also the rock gets a free pass to do what he wants because he is the rock lol
So one no has heard of Perry White of Daily Planet or watched any of the Chris Reeve Superman movies?
Just because someone has heard of someone doesn’t negate the fact a character’s original race was white.

Im pretty sure if you ask somebody random on the street who perry white is they wont have a clue also what does perry white have to do with watching chris reeve superman films ? Ive seen them and perry white isnt really a main or even sub plot of the film he probably has a total screen time of about 5 minutes
And yeah it sort of does because when you think of superman you think of a white guy in a red and blue with an s on his chest exactly what your avatar is thats superman
When you think of rocky you think of an white itailan guy who never puts hus guard up
I mean if anybody can play anybody lets have a chinese black panther... see how that does because it wont do well
Ok if you asked a random person on the street how Black Panther is before the movie would they have heard of him so they wanna make him Chinese go ahead wouldn’t bother me.
The Ancient one in Doctor Strange was originally Asian Male but it’s changed to a white female but her doesn’t right because no one has heard of them and Baron Mordo wasn’t black either
