A Black Spider Man? - Megatron - 06-02-2010
i think the idea is pretty neat........not too many black superheroes we see this day and age........<a href=\"http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/movie-talk-twitter-campaign-wants-community-actor-to-be-first-non-white-spider-man.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/movie-talk...spider-man.html</a>

Seen it yesterday.............I wasn't thrilled.Not that I'm a racist............I just don't want them re-tooling EVERY hero on the block. There are plenty of black superheroes. Would you wanna make a Luke Cage: Hero for Hire movie with a white guy playing Luke Cage? NO(Would you wanna see a Luke Cage: Hero for Hire movie at all??..............................NO, NO, NO.........GOD PLEASE.....NO!!!!! )

It's not going to happen, the studio will never even consider it. The guy is a comedian and just throwing his hat in the ring for the role in the reboot.

<b>Will Smith didnt get to be Cap, so this shouldnt work either. That would be the equivalent of Black Panther played by Jason Statham.</b>

I could see a lot of people getting PEEVED if they gave the role of War Machine to a white man. It just wouldn't be right....I can admit, I love Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury, but I just could not see Spiderman as anything other than what he was in the comics. Sorry if that sounds harsh...

Bryan Hitch drew that to be filled by Sam Jackson. No way this would fly with Spidey or Cap. <img src=\"http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/fury.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

seems like a pointless change to me.

If they want to use Peter Parker, a self conscious shy nerd, and make him black, why not design a whole new super hero with those traits instead? Peter Parker is a character... You wouldn't make a white Blade would you? No, you'd just make a new vampire slayer who is white and still badass.

Well in the 89 Batman , Billy Dee played a White character and I haven't heard much complaint about that . And I think Will Smith did a great job in Hancock ( not sure if you'd label that as superhero ) but still . But whatever Hollywood wants to do is up to them as they don't listen to anyone else for that matter .
