Really now? Most people just want that they dye her hair. I don't see people here saying that they should replace the actress.It's good that you mentioned that though, since the reception she's had so far for being cast as Mary Jane and the convenient scapegoat of hair color (lmao) shares the same root cause as the snarky comments she got for wearing dreads: tragic racist undertones.
Which people got over in like roughly the first 2 minutes of Casino Royale or hell roughly first minute of the first trailer.
I don't really understand what the point is. Change for change's sake, I guess. I'm sure her performance and acting will be great, Marvel's casting doesn't miss.
Incresing diversity within Hollywood's casting and the promotion of new talent
Or just maybe eve they open casted and she was the best of them all.
Calling it: Angourie Rice is Gwen. Zendaya redhead by the end of Homecoming.
They can still have Gwen... Not every Spider-Man story starts with Gwen as the first girl (Raimi, Ultimate Spidey)I give no shit about her origin.
But red hair or gtfo.
Also no sure skipping Gwen is a good idea. We know they did it because of the Amazing turds...
Though I don't understand it myself, Zendaya is kind of beloved among a certain age group. Her casting makes a lot of sense with the direction of the film.
That's a pretty ballsy move.

I thought John Watts said she was Michelle

If they did change to race of characters as big as Flash and MJ and made the whole rest of the cast diverse, it's disappointing that the buck stops at Peter. I suppose it gives an opportunity for Miles to have that as part of hos character, if he shows up, but if feels too Hollywood safe for them to diversify the entire cast but stick to a super white guy for Peter. Guess it is what it is.
Where did I say they shouldn't have white characters?Why is it disappointing that the cast is diverse, expect Peter? I know people want to see people of different ethnicities or of different colour or something else in movies, and that's ok, I have aspergers and I am happy that Flash (I mean the one from Justice League) maybe has autistic traits. However, there are people who want to see the movie characters resemble their comic book counterparts and that's totally ok, too. Also, a movie having a diverse cast doesn't mean it shouldn't have white characters.
No problem with the casting but i hope they give MJ some cooler stuff to do this time around rather than be generic love interest/damsel in distress. Surely she must have got powers at some point in the comics right?

I'm specifically talking about the lead and Hollywood ideas of progressiveness and diversity.
And what if it didn't have any (main) white characters? Would that somehow be a problem? The opposite happens all the time.

But I'm black. I want red hair. And your argument is bullshit.
Look there's racist people out there. Racist people will say all kinds of wild stuff that doesn't fly with me. But this reeks of Ghostbusters all over again.
You're putting the people who want red hair and the people you view as racist in the same box to fit an agenda when you shouldn't be. Sure some of the people who are saying that are trying to hide their thinly veiled racism but that doesn't mean most saying that are.
You may not be racist, but if you care that much about red hair you're still crazy.

Is it? I think its a pretty key part of her look. Like black widow's red hair that scarlett dyes forRed hair seems like such superfluous and superficial trait to cling to. As long as she calls Peter "tiger", I'm good.
