    This mindset is just letting racists win. “Let’s not give POC actors roles because racists are racist towards them online”

    Studios are perfectly fine hiring only white people, they most likely prefer it. Instead of holding the racists online accountable we’re blaming the studios that cast them. Easy fix for studios, “let’s just go back to hiring all whites”

    So what you're saying is I should play wolverine

    Now RPK is saying Xavier is cast, but it's not Pelphrey or Skarsgard

  • Might be too old but Ewan McGregor might’ve been a good Professor X. At least it’d help him move on from Obi Wan

    very possible to continuing casting poc like u say but also have "best offense is a good defense" campaigns/pr in place rather than throwing them to the wolves like they usually do

    Studios don’t give af about their poc actors, this much I agree with. The solution, imo, is not to just stop hiring them

    “I rather them not race swap because studios leave their stars out to dry against online backlash” gives studios such an easy cop out. “Fine we won’t hire poc and everyone’s happy”

    Iron Fist was a decade ago and on Netflix made by the old separate Marvel Television.

    This is a 3 year old Disney+ show made by Marvel Studios, I feel like it's a little too recent.

    production distinction matters very little atp given the netflix continuity revivals / forthcoming character cameos and recent slew of d+ cancellations

    ultimately they're both 2 shows most casual fans barely watched cus they were stinkers n pelphrey's consideration reaffirms the larger trend of marvel not being above recasting in-house players.

    That and the fact that they need name recognition more than ever after Secret Wars and the current state of Marvel
