My Mom is West Indian, my biological Dad was Irish and Native American.
I've been asked if I was just about every race you could think of.
Even Egyptian at one time, SMH.
My little brother, His biological Dad (my step-Dad) is Italian and German.
He and I look almost exactly the same.

Kirsten Dunst is fine, MJ as a character in those movies was a nothing character

Gwen's death was new back in the early 70s but has been so overdone in pop culture since that there's no point in regurgitating it anymore. Plus they just did this with ASM and it was forgettable. People didn't care.

Or Hispanic. = Black + White
and anyway, who gives a shit if she's mixed. Not playing the hypocritical libertarian here since I freely admit I hated Jackson's Nick Fury compared to the original (and still vastly prefer him to the MCU version) but only because old Nick's background is infinitely more interesting, and I consider his traits iconic. Race has nothing to do with that.
At the same time I learned to accept such changes and it doesn't bother me anymore. Some big Spider Man fans will certainly hate this choice, but it wouldn't necessarily mean it's a race issue

Great! I assumed she would be. Can't wait for our first look at the film.

She captured the character's aspirations to be famous in the public.
Set photos had her hair natural but I'm holding out hope that she discovers dye during her character arc.
I see no problem, as long as she dyes her hair red, because MJ not being a redhead would be blasphemous.
Not "interesting", more like, ICONIC.
like, you could do about anything with the character and as long as she's a redhead people wouldn't complain because that's the iconic part.

Yea ASM killing Gwen was totally misguided especially when the two leads' chemistry was probably the best thing about those movies.
Gwen's death was a product of its time and i don't think Marvel would do it again if they had the chance. I guess we don't know at this point if Gwen will even be in the movies, but if she is I think she will be more of a friend than a love interest and won't be killed.
I wouldn't be surprised if they gave her some red highlights or something as a nod to the character's ginger origins. Sort of like this:
In fact I'll bet money that's what they'll do, since that sort of thing is in style right now.

I wonder if Sam Jackson Fury means we'll never see OG white Fury on screen? I imagine it wouldn't sit right with the general audience.

We talking about the girl from the acne treatment commercials? She looks pretty white to me, but maybe has some mixed races in her genes
Oh, that's her? Always thought that's the daughter from modern family. Unless Zendaya is the daughter from modern family.

If Dr Strange goes all the way with alternate dimensions like they're saying they could pull a scene like this off. would be neat to see other characters who took up certain mantles through a plot point like that

White Nick Fury is gone in the comics. It's just black Nick Fury.
too late for that, I think. he's Fury now. Perhaps a few years down the road, in the next reboot

The SDCC trailer was pretty obvious on who she would be playing. She nails it too.

That color would be awesome, I'm in.

And like I said black women can look great with red hair. Rihanna looks dope when she goes red
Amazing.
Seriously, i could not care less if MJ is white or black... just make her dye her hair in the end of the movie or in the sequels and she will be perfect to me... cause we need more red hairs on movies, they are becoming a dying breed

Whenever the current actors get old this is how they should continue on with the universe. Just replace them with alternate reality versions and have them take over the mantle. That way we don't need another round of origin stories for the same character.

She seems way too pretty.
I always thought MJ was supposed to have a "girl next door" thing going on.
