Marvel Considers Recasting Black Panther

It's Canon to the comics but (they did everything wrong).... But you're right. Shuri was boring. The humor and wit was gone.

I mean, from what little I've read of her (so my apologies if she's mischaracterized in these issues from how she is mainly in the comics), Shuri in the comics is less empathetic compared to her brother.

(remembering best I can, my bad if I get some details wrong) There's a situation involving Sam Wilson trying to uncover a secret plot by a group of villains hiding within Wakanda, and this is when the country had just started accepting immigrants from the U.S. When Sam is discovered to have used the immigration to secretly enter the country to find the villains, Shuri refuses to listen to Sam explaining himself. Even after Sam stops the villains, Shuri as punishment deports ALL the recent immigrants back to the U.S., feeling she needs to protect her nation's safety at all costs.

When T'Challa finds Sam after this, he apologizes and says that while he agrees with his sister that Wakanda's prosperity is what should be focused on most as a ruler, but he would not have gone to the extremes she would have and he would have been more willing to hear Sam out.

And in the new Ultimate Black Panther series, Shuri's main characterization is a desire to go to open war against the enemies who are attacking innocent people outside their borders even if it means publicly exposing Wakanda's technology and full capabilities.

So if the more upbeat MCU Shuri pre-Wakanda Forever is a reflection of how she is in the comics, I've not read it yet.

I didn't mind the humor being mostly gone from Shuri in the second film. It reflected how her brother's loss had affected her, and I felt the actress did excellent in displaying her grief. I imagine the third film will show a return to how she was in the first movie, probably not fully, but the second film ends with her finally beginning to mentally heal from the pain of losing her family. I could at least empathize with her in the movie, but like I said, from what I've read of the 616 version, she's not really likable there, and the Ultimate version isn't unlikable but isn't really humorous either.

It's hard for me to read the recommended Black Panther runs of the last few decades as most seem to involve T'Challa/Storm as a couple or even after they split still have Storm appear and show feelings towards each other. No offense to those who do, but I never liked this pairing, and I never like it when characters long-associated with a group are "graduated" to a new book at the expense of their time with their old friends (this was especially bad with DC's Cyborg, as moving him to the Justice League in the comics robbed him of all his established friends, and it also carried this negative implication that being a Titan is something one should eventually "mature" from, yes they were originally and sometimes depending on the roster are called Teen Titans (but Cyborg and the other older members could still be mentors to the younger ones like in Geoff Johns' run), but the group is frequently called just Titans so any age should be accepted and they've saved the world multiple times so I hate seeing certain writers view them as "lesser" than the Justice League).

Even Ultimate Black Panther, despite this continuity writing T'Challa and Okoye as a pretty interesting couple, they have to throw in a prophecy that pretty much confirms he'll eventually end up with Storm (despite this version of Storm being pretty ruthless and having no chemistry with him).

I really hope if they do bring T'Challa back in the MCU, they don't force Storm away from the X-men and put her in the BP movies.

(if you do know of good modern Black Panther runs that don't involve Storm in them, feel free to recommend them though, I would love to read them)
 
I found the answer

They're aliens whom the Norse thought of as gods. They used freaking space ships! They weren't from Earth.

And the Asgardian people were Asian, black, indigenous and white presenting people.

That was no more "your" culture than Wakanda is mine.

And your rhetoric is dangerously close to sounding a certain way.
What? Norse Mythology is literally my culture. Do you think Marvel made it up lol?

Your rethoric has sounded a certain way for ages. You said some pretty extreme things.

Unless you're Norse yourself and believe in the myths, it's not your culture.

And what extreme things have I said? Whatever I have said it didn't go against the TOS and I wasn't given a warning. I like it here. I've made, what I perceived as, actual friends on here...

Considering how wildly different actual Norse mythology is and how Thor and the others have been portrayed in the comics since the beginning:

It's not a good look to be solely complaining about Elba's casting, but then crickets come from these same complainers in terms of the many other inaccuracies in how Norse mythology is portrayed.

I am norse, but its not about believing the myths. These stories have been in northern europe for thousands of years and are woven into our culture. Its part of our cultural heritage. Christianity wiped out the belief in them but these were "spirits" people used to get through the day for so long that the archetypes of them are still intact.

Maybe its because your myths are young, not very prominent or barely known. but norse, greek, egyptian, japanese, african, indonesian, etc..., a lot of the old peoples in the world still value our old culture before the newer religions pushed them out. we still name people after the gods, i know 3 people called odin.

Its all absurd, marvel should never have touched it. elba is just the most well known example since its a european mythology, but its all equally as dumb. hemsworth is from the other side of the globe, fuck him aswell.

Well, feel free to time travel back to the 1960's and stop Stan Lee because you're so unpleasant about a more loose interpretation over a fictional race of otherworldly beings.

Funny, I don't see any noteworthy number of Christians freaking out if Jesus is portrayed by a non-Jewish actor. When even THEY are being more chill about their mythology (and regarding a man who, regardless if he was the Son of God or just a normal human, most likely did exist in real life based on historical records), well, that should tell you something.

I love Idris Elba Heimdell. I wish he was used more in the MCU

IIRC you weren't big on The Suicide Squad, but I loved him, and the whole cast, in that movie.

When he finally can't stand Ratcatcher II's rat Sebastian and is on the verge of panicking:

Bloodsport: I have a thing about rats!
Ratcatcher II: You have a thing about rats…
Bloodsport: Yes.
Ratcatcher II: And they put you on a team with me?
Bloodsport: Not something I asked for!
(Peacemaker laughs)
Bloodsport: What are you laughing at me for, man?! Why the fuck are you in your underwear?! Tighty-whities? Really?!
Peacemaker: Now that's just racist.
Bloodsport: No, it's not racist!

(fun fact: apparently John Cena totally ad-libbed the "racist" part and Elba naturally played off it. Great stuff)
 
The very words "Black Panther" are rooted in African American history:


BP the character just so happened to be created in the same year as that group: 1966.


BP was black from the very beginning, and was meant to add more Black characters into the Marvel roster at the time of his creation, according to creator Jack Kirby.
Reading between the lines you are saying that a white dude can't be the Black Panther?
 
rooted in African American history
And white European historical figures are 'rooted' in European history. Black actors are regularly cast to play these roles because it's only about hiring the best actors, or so I'm told.

The only reason it would not be equally 'acceptable' for a white actor to play Black Panther -or any other nominally black role- is because the current standard being applied is a double standard.

No, he can't. Are you for real? The one superhero and movie that black people made "their own" and you want to take it away? Did you notice the amount of "Africa and African heritage fuck yeah" moments in the movies?

Bruh up here really insisting that Marvel Studios should cast a white actor as Black Panther because some completely DIFFERENT studios' casting choices for their historical fiction films.

Or, I'm sorry, you know what, you're right, how could I forget all those historical fiction films of the MCU?

Why, there's:

You know, if UPS fucks up his order, I guess calico is the type of person who thinks FedEx should also compensate him. It makes just as much sense from his "logic".
 
Why would it be false specifically for Black Panther? The justification normally given for casting black actors to play white roles -even for white historical figures- is that it's only about casting the best actors they can. Either that is a valid justification or it isn't.
What white historical figures have been played by a different ethnicity in a film?

I am saying it should not be a problem for them to do so, if we apply the current standard being used in the industry evenly.

I was not talking about specific companies, but if you want to then Marvel -and thus Black Panther- are owned and controlled by Disney, and Disney evidently has no problem with the casting of Hamilton.

If we are sticking entirely to the confines of the Marvel comics and MCU, then white characters have already been portrayed by black actors, so again it should be absolutely no problem if the reverse were to happen.
 
Well, you would have to decide if Magnetos Jewish origins are as important to his character as Black Panther being a sub-saharan black african, versus all the other ethnicities on that continent.
Eventually, if you want to have X-Men stories in the modern ages, something else will have to have radicalized magneto, unless you constantly put him on ice like winter soldier or Captain America. But also I find it a little telling that people weren't up in arms when they casted non Jewish actors to play him both times in film. McKellen nor fassbender are Jewish. If being Jewish is that important to his backstory why wasn't a Jewish actor chosen for the role?

I've already explained why T'Challa and the other people of Wakanda can't be played by white actors in post #74. And I've already told you to check post #74 previously when you acted ignorant of me already explaining myself, as seen in posts #79 and 80.

You've done this twice now. Knock it off, because between this nonsense of acting like I haven't already explained this detail and you acting like I never explained so, and you wanting to act like, "OMG, you guys, 'society' hates white people and Asian people!", I'm starting to get a good smell of:

rFSlN3p.gif


Edit: also, I said STUDIOS, not companies, so I don't give a shit what Disney is doing with a completely different studio. I don't care about watching Hamilton no matter who was cast in it, it's not something I have any interest in. Sucks for its fans, I guess, but we're talking about Black Panther and Marvel Studios as that's the topic, stop trying to bring in other elements just to desperately boost your argument. Once again, my UPS/FedEx comparison in post #121 seems to be how you really do view all this, LOL.

Anne Boleyn (2021) - Queen Anne Boleyn
1066: A Year to Conquer England (2017) - Robert de Beaumont
Bridgerton (2020) - Queen Charlotte
The Hollow Crown (2012) - Queen Margaret of Anjou
Mary, Queen of Scots (2018) - Lord Thomas Randolph
Queen Cleopatra (2023) - Queen Cleopatra
Vikings: Valhalla (2022) - Jarl Estrid Haakon (technically a fictional character, but very obviously inspired by the real-life figure Haakon Sigurdsson. Haakon is literally a masculine name.)

This is not an exhaustive list, mind. Expand your query to include historical stage plays and you'll find many more examples.

You have explained why 'they can't be' according to whatever personal standard you are choosing to apply. That's fine. I will give the benefit of the doubt and assume that -unlike the industry- your standard would work both ways.

They absolutely can be played by white actors if we take the standard currently being used by the industry and apply it evenly, instead of applying it as a double standard. Any standard which says 'any white historical figure or fictitious character can be portrayed by a black actor, but a black comic book character absolutely cannot be played by a white actor' is very obviously a double standard, but it is just as obviously the current standard in effect, whether you support it or not.

So long as the industry is applying that double standard and hiding behind the 'it's just about hiring the best actors' lie, I will support Ryan Gosling as being a perfect choice for Black Panther. I don't think it would ever happen though: most white actors would be terrified of doing something which is common practice the other way around.

Its fine to use Thor as an action hero, but they go to far with it. If they used jesus as an action hero and started to redo biblical tale in their image the christians would hate it too. muslims would literally attack them.
 
You guys know you don't need to give this much thought and discussion to something someone on Twitter pulled out of their ass, right?

I'm not entertaining your crazy conspiracy theory that an entire INDUSTRY is being controlled by some mystical standard, especially as it's been pointed out that white actors and actresses have played non-white characters and people, you just conveniently choose to ignore that element (or will likely goalpost move to why "that doesn't count").

If specific casting directors and specific studios are casting actual historical figures and civilization inaccurately, then THEY should be called out for it and pressured to cast more accurately in future projects. It should not affect completely different studios and completely different genres. That's ludicrous.

You sound like that awful teacher who saw that two students were using the game of tag as an excuse to violently shove other kids to the ground, and rather than just punishing the two students specifically, they also banned the game of tag from being played in recess altogether.

And quite frankly, I'm tired of people who think this way (in terms of thinking about this supposed standard), because it comes off as a cheap excuse to indirectly insult a lot of non-white actors and actresses by claiming, "there's no possible way THEY could have given the best performance, clearly it's some industry standard for why they were hired." Like, you want to whine about "society" having some grand conspiracy to hate on white and Asian people, yet you just casually dismiss the possibility of all these non-white actors and actresses' having genuine talent en masse. Kind of not a great look there, pal.

If being Jewish is that important to his backstory why wasn't a Jewish actor chosen for the role?
Well, since there isn't really a Jewish race (though there are some stereotypical features) thrn its just a matter of the actor saying "I'm jewish" and then, you know, acting.

And sadly, while not on the industrial scale of the holocaust perhaps, it isn't hard to find terrible anti-semetic tragedies more recently in our history to use for his backstory.
 
I'm saying the character and his history is a big deterrent to having a white Black Panther, not that it is impossible. It's just a bad idea.
Not really, Africa is a massive continent and has THOUSANDS of years of "white" people living on it, as well as arabic peoples. Pretty easy to make Wakanda a "lost Atlantis", the people fleeing Troy (this is an origin 'myth' of the Norse gods as well), fleeing Carthage, fleeing Egypt with the fall of Cleopatra, jews carrying the 10 commandments, or any number of european colonization expeditions that disappeared. If anything, the notion that a sub-saharan tribe/natio finds a massive power source and then goes isolationist instead of dominating EVERYONE around them is the bigger stretch. Wakanda really only works as an 'outsider' people fleeing that use vibranium (and the flower) as defense rather than a 'native' people that suddenly get immense power and then decide to just button up instead of continue to engage in the centuries and centuries of warfare they've previously been engaged in.

What you're describing wouldn't be Wakanda then. They're isolationist by design (Panther god and all)

And ... I had a whole paragraph written but I don't feel like going back and forth on all that.

The problem is you're ignoring the history of the comic itself, which frequently touches upon political and social topics that don't work as they were written if the people of Wakanda are white. Not to mention Stan Lee created T'Challa specifically to be black, he said he wanted the character made so that any boy who was black and walked into a comic store could find a character who was of the same race as them rather than it being all white Marvel superheroes as was pretty much the case in those years.

It would be like claiming you can just cast a white actor to play DC's Static, it would completely clash with plenty of the topics and commentary the comics and cartoon touched upon, and would be very disrespectful to the late Dwayne McDuffie who co-created Milestone Comics in the early 90's (who worked with DC Comics to help publish and distribute Milestone's series) that was designed to feature new characters to help boost the number of minorities in leading roles in comics.

These movie adaptation don't exist in a bubble. As much as it might irk some people, most white superheroes on the comics were not created with an emphasis on them being white, it was just the "default" for most people's subconscious thought process when creating characters for many decades. However, many black superheroes were created with their race being a relevant factor in the motivation of their creation and/or their stories. Black Panther, Static, John Stewart, Luke Cage, Black Lightning, Icon and Rocket, they all were created and written in this way.

This is why I brought up Roland of Stephen King's Dark Tower books earlier in the thread. Him being white is an actual relevant element of the character as it affects how one other character behaves towards him and Eddie in the second book. So there was some justification on those criticizing the casting of Idris Elba as Roland.

But almost all Marvel and DC superheroes who are white don't have their race as a relevant element to their character or stories. That can't be said for many of the black superheroes. It's not a double standard, it's simply the history of the medium and its creators.

Exactly! That's why I always say context matters and why their race is canon
 
as it's been pointed out that white actors and actresses have played non-white characters and people
Which black characters or black historical figures have been played by white actors in the last ten years?

If I am imagining a double standard where none exists, as you suggest, it should be very easy to list many such examples.

Sure, I get you. I'm just saying that you COULD sub out the backstory and still have 95% of "Black Panther" to use going forward in a rather superficial adaptation like the MCU.

I don't want that, no one really does. But you COULD do it and it would work for about 95% of the global audience that doesn't give a fuck about US race relations and has never read the comics.

People have already given you examples on this thread, stop repeating yourself constantly and demanding we repeat what we've already told you. And don't act like if we did give you more examples, you wouldn't just move the goalposts again to "negate" them. It's an old bullshit tactic, you're not fooling anyone here.

And quite frankly, if you think my above post, talking about creators and the relevancy of these black characters and their decades-long history, is "laughable" based on your reaction, well, that certainly tells me enough at this point about you by this point. I've got better things to do then deal with someone who clearly is barely listening to what we say given you're constantly asking us what we already told you, and all you have to respond with to my point about the decades of black characters in comics and why race is actually a relevant factor in their creation and stories is a weak ass response in the form of a laugh emoji, you clearly ain't got shit to say that's an actual argument, just finding any conspiracy theories and overgeneralizations you can latch onto while ignoring all the actual responses given that are actually relevant to the history of Marvel's Black Panther AKA what this thread was talking about. Take your troll behavior elsewhere, I'm done.

As for race swapping (or gender swapping), that's a creative brainiac issue. Unless it's a documentary with real life footage, any tv/movie/game maker can mess with characters and story how they want as it's fictional. Heck, even documentary directors will try to spin the story a certain way which may be untrue (like Michael Moore taking real footage and purposely forming a false narrative).

Sometimes it works and nobody cares, sometimes it doesn't and people laugh at it. Got to take the good with the bad. And for anyone who wants it to be a one-way street where it only applies one way but not the other too bad. Cant have it both ways.

If you act this way, you are really no different than a weird guy on those hoarder TV shows. You love to take, but dont like to give up. Grow up.

Would it surprise you to know your post was exactly what I expected it to be when I asked for examples? Everything but examples.



Post #77, DUH.

I've already addressed it. Oh shocker, you "don't remember", because of course you don't, why change up your basic behavior, you troll. But here, because apparently you lack the basic capabilities of using Google:




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_33 (referring to Juliette Binoche's casting)



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clown_in_a_Cornfield_(film) (Janet is supposed to be Asian)





Now, WOULD IT SURPRISE YOU TO KNOW I CAN SMELL THE INCOMING STENCH OF GOALPOST MOVING?

You can save your breath, I called you out on your "bad memory" yet again, and there are clear examples. But again, I don't give a shit about someone like YOU, who wants to stand on a moral high ground against the boogeyman "society" that you delude yourself into thinking is out to get you, and yet with your same breath, you mock creators (deceased ones at that) who went against the norms of their times and created characters and spoke about topics that meant something to people who have actually been discriminated against.

Their characters and stories will last for a long time no matter how much you clearly wish they didn't based off your transparent attitude.

Wakanda FOREVER.

. Most of the rest just seem to be complaining that the cast in general isn't as black as some would have liked it to be.
