While certainly arguable, I have to softly disagree on both points for the following reasons:I swear there was another thread about this.
Superman's race is irrelevant to the character so it doesn't really matter if he is black or white so its worth doing just to watch certain people get upset
While certainly arguable, I have to softly disagree on both points for the following reasons:
1. As an infant, Superman crash-lands in Kansas which is 83.6% white. Being white himself, he was able to disguise himself within the community fairly easily and no one questioned that he was Jonathan and Martha's son. You could make the case for a Superman movie having a black infant Kal-El landing in Detroit, Michigan, but again, the Kansas/mid-western developmental stage is not irrelevant to Superman's character as currently depicted.
2. Lois and Clark: The New Adventuress of Superman cast Dean Cain, of Japanese descent, as Superman, and the show had explosive popularity for four straight seasons. The continuous high ratings suggest that no one was upset, at least not upset enough to not watch the show.
Personally, the biggest issue was that Lex Luthor had hair, but I never missed an episode.
As long as he cusses, I'll pay to watch that! lolWhat if he’s played by Sam Jackson?
NEVER! lol unpopular opinion but Sam Jackson's acting ability is highly overrated lol.What if he’s played by Sam Jackson?
Barone, is that you?I swear there was another thread about this.

Perhaps, but he’s charismatic….guess, one could say, he could be the modern interpretation of frank sinatra, only black, and curses a tad more?NEVER! lol unpopular opinion but Sam Jackson's acting ability is highly overrated lol.
I never saw the Ryan Reynolds Lantern so I'm not sure if the property still has studios leary of revisiting it again.
They could do the John Stewart Lantern.
Right, we already got many modern yank superhero moving pictures played by nigels and bruces. They should at least be played by more canuks. Oh and then you have gallegos or kiwis playing Latins/Hispanics, sometimes pinoys play them too but I don’t know where I’m going with this. All that matters, in reality, if it’s a good movie I’ll go see it, hopefully it’s fun and or dark just be better because I like Superman.I swear there was another thread about this.

idris elba, because his accent, or joseph stathamSo.... would they have Michael A. Jordan step in as Jor-El?
Sam Jackson plays Sam Jackson in every movie, and guess what that’s good enough motherf***er!NEVER! lol unpopular opinion but Sam Jackson's acting ability is highly overrated lol.
