I think the young man is a great actor and will do a good job, but his casting is inevitably going to viewed as a part of the continuing trend of Hollywood preferring light-skinned black people over dark-skinned black actors & casting light-skinned actors in dark-skinned roles, and Jon Stewart is a dark-skinned black man in the comics, and while it’s easy to dismiss such criticism as trivial and go with the “it doesn’t matter just get the best actor for the role” I think it’s valid criticism especially since there is a stigma of dark-skinned people in our society and it be nice to see more dark-skinned black
people have more positive representations in media.
It would be nice to see a dark-skinned actress play Storm for once.
