Why does everyone hate the 2005 F4? It kicked ass! And it made Chris Evans a star.
It is entertainment for kids. Society will survive.
If you disagree, what exactly about the character needs to be white?
I agree, it will bomb but not because he’s black. I do hope they work in a Pryor joke.
If they made Ben Grimm black that would work. You still have the brother/sister thing and it would also explain the orange rock color.
Cause he is Capt. America now.
i actively avoid obvious propaganda
i’ll be skipping this one
Loved Michael B. Jordan in the Friday Night Lights TV show.
Hollywood has changed the ethnicity of Perry White (Superman), James Olsen (Supergirl), Pete Ross (Smallville), Iris West (Flash), and now this. It’s an insult to the creators of the characters. If this is going to be the trend in Hollywood; I expect to see Tommy Lee Jones to play the lead in the next biography of Martin Luther King. Is there a problem with creating NEW black characters for these films???
I just wish they’d quit remaking movies...
What he looks like doesn’t change the character as long as he is brash, hot tempered and good looking enough to be a believable ladies man. If they make him a nerdy glasses wearing geek it wouldn’t matter if he were blond haired and blue eyed because his character would be different.
The idea that we have to have a black guy or girl in every movie as a nod to political correctness, that’s annoying.
Like making Rosa Parks a White woman....
And when I was reading the ORIGINAL Fantastic Four Comic books back in 1962-65, the Human Torch and the Invisible Woman, Johnny and Susan Storm were brother and sister. I’m guessing they have dropped that ‘tidbit’ from this movie.
he’s an adopted brother.
Very little, if any, imaginative or talented writing in Hollywood these days. Yet they think of themselves as being so creative.
