This casting proves recast tchalla right again… LMAO. The fans wouldnt of been able to see someone else play black panther, but you can cast the most famous actor thats ever been tied to a superhero role as another character… LOL Marvel just disrespecting our intelligence at this point
You said it. RDJ is a move to drown out the noise from Majors supporters. If it were a lesser-known actor replacing him, they knew everyone would just want Majors. RDJ is the only one they have who can fill the talent gap and get people to "forget" JM, though it won't work for many. Plus nostalgia is all Marvel can sell anymore.
How does Reed Richards ethnicity/race play into his character? I’m not saying it can’t, obviously characters like Thor and BP and their stories are tied directly to their race/ethnicity and all that. How does that apply to Reed though?
It doesn’t necessarily play into it. It’s more about Pedro Pascal just not seeming very much like the idea we had in our heads about Reed. A guy like Krasinski fit that mold a lot more than Pascal. Knowing you’re looking at Pedro and not being immersed into the character of Reed is going to take us right out of the movie.
