Michael B. Jordan might play Superman

The most recent movies, of this decade, based on ancient Egypt: Gods of Egypt, and Exodus: Gods and Kings. Majority of the cast is white. With non whites having roles of slaves, thieves, and extras. Gods of Egypt at least had one token black guy Chadwick Boseman in a supporting role.

So yeah, not “used to”. *****’s still alive and well today, whites as ancient Egyptians. That’s not a thing of the past.

Gods of Egypt wasn't whitewashed.

The characters that Gerard Butler, Jaime Lannister, etc. were all beings from outer space. None were Earth or Egypt based.

Like how everyone kept saying Heimdell and Valkyrie can be black in the Thor movies because they're space beings, then the same thing applies here.

Unless you're talking about the Earth/Egypt based characters.

''I would rather do something original.''

Oprah responds with a dumbassed ''Oh really...''

Is wanting to be a part of something original so unheard of ???

I thought you would like his answer. I thought he gave a very thoughtful answer with lots of insight into what it is to be an actor.

But Superman is also an alien.

No, they weren’t.

And Jesus was not a surfer bro white guy with blue eyes, so don’t know why he would be portrayed by so at ANY moment in time. Or actually, maybe we do know why....

Jesus was Caucasian too.

Get your troll game up.

I don't really blame actors. They are given big fat checks to be in flops. How many consecutive flops has DeNiro and Cage been in ??? They know damn well those movies are going to suck, but yet, there they are.

I blame the producers of such trash.

I stopped watching after that Oprah comment.

''Oh really....''

WTF

So was the Idris Elba character that the dude mentioned.

Clark Kent isn’t the only Kryptonian. There are also black Kryptonian’s and if any of them come to Earth they would be Supermen and Superwomen, regardless if skin color. The Sun gives them the power they have.

A black Superman would be based on another Kryptonian.

Superman is Clark kent. Other kryptonians arent "Superman"

So yea of theres a movie of another kryptonian who is black that's fine, but if its "Superman" that is Clark Kent who is white.
