Runaways Casting Thread

[JP]

Unless you're Jeremy Renner

That's different. That was Marvel actually talking to him about the role.

This is Romeo going in for a reading at most.

no clue who she will play

but she looks like Xavin

 

[JP]

 

[Philly Phanboy]

 

[Sawyer]

I'd assume that they'd hold off Xavin for a sequel. So...... just what the **** is Marvel up to, here?!

 

[Rac]

I hope she ain't sought for any of the main Runaways...

Black Heimdall was enough, ok Marvel?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

^ Racist much?

Even if you're not it comes off as it. I don't think anyone's crying over Heimdall's race being changed.

 

[Rac]

^ Racist much?

Because I think they should appreciate the source material? Yeah, f you too.

Even if you're not it comes off as it. I don't think anyone's crying over Heimdall's race being changed.

LOTS of people were upset because of Heimdall's race change. Norse Gods ain't black. Especially not the one who is described as "whitest of them all".

REally? He's racist because he doesnt want the race of a character's race

 

[Project862006]

runaways could use more diversity

4 of the 6 leads are white

 

[MadVillainy]

So?

 

[Project862006]

so?

could use more diversity ,more than just white people in the world

is'nt it odd every major franchise is lead by white people

harry potter
LOTR
Narnia

even the one that did'nt call for it The Last airbender they still made them all white

dont care one way or the other i am just saying..

 

[JP]

It's a little silly to get up and arms about one character possibly not being Asian, and then being okay with a white character being black.

Still. so?

Instead of changing characters races. How about building up other colored characters. Why not make Black Panther or John Stewart white?

 

[Project862006]

obviously black panther's entire character is based off his race you change his race you change the character, thus ruining the character

now arent all the human lanterns white anyways lol

 

[MadVillainy]

Their white people in Africa it could still work
and yeah 3/4 Earth laterns are white. Why not make it an even 4?

In all seriousness: It's really, for lack of a better word, lame to be nonchalant about/for changing white characters to black and other races; but be against changing other races to white

But this is all premature because we have no idea whats going on except that Keke Palmer read for a role

 

[jerky123]

I guess you could have Keke as Nico, I'm mean, she's not even human, so I guess her race doesn't really matter.

 

[Sawyer]

Nico's human. Karolina isn't.

 

[Silvermoth]

She would have to be Xavin. If she's any of the others it will mean Disney is calling the shots and not Marvel and would personify all the fears of the Disney takeover.

 

[terry78]

No, that would be Selena Gomez being cast as Squirrel Girl in a weekly series.

 

[JP]

I'll never understand this "Disney takeover" fear. I wasn't aware that every Disney movie ever made only featured actors from the Disney Channel.

 

[Sawyer]

I'll never understand this "Disney takeover" fear. I wasn't aware that every Disney movie ever made only featured actors from the Disney Channel.

It's not really Johnny Depp that's playing Jack Sparrow in the new Pirates of the Caribbean, you know. It's Nick Jonas in disguise.

 

[JP]

Yeah, and Corbin Bleu and Hilary Duff were in Prince of Persia.

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, and Corbin Bleu and Hilary Duff were in Prince of Persia.

And I imagine the box office earnings would've been just about the same.

 

[terry78]

LOL, I think fanboys tend to forget a lot of the more mature stuff Disney has put out over the years.
