Could a white actor take the lead role, and if not....why?


Would it affect ticket sales?
Could it be the right kind of 'gimmick' needed?
Would audiences stay away from it?

Skin-Colour (obviously) hasn't mattered with several reboots of late......So I'm genuinely interested to see how far 'diversity' goes in Hollywood?


Let's *try* have a sensible conversation about the pro's and cons of recasting Black Panther as a white man......

How about no one complains about a race swap period? Regardless if a white person is changed or a black person is, it is all fine and dandy and we move on about our day? I am cool with that are you?

I am a person who is black and not once did I complain about typically black characters being swapped in the past. Therefore it is more than fair for me to expect the same thing on the other end of the spectrum.

Wouldn't that be considered racist?

Relax. Bucky Barnes is the new Black Panther in Black Panther 3: Electric Honkey
