He's a very good actor. That being said, It would feel really forced and blatantly racist to be honest... "Let's give a role that's always been written and portrayed as a British white dude to a black man, because we feel bad!" that's horrible... If I were a dude and if I were black I honestly wouldn't take the role, i'm not going to take a role out of hollywood's pity agenda.. I'd feel extremely disrespectful that they were choosing me because I was black. If they ever tried to cast a new Mace Windu for some reason and chose a white dude i'd have the same reaction... Man do I wish people understood the meaning of equality and being [b]one human [u]race[/u][/b] ...

1 답변No. And not because I am racist, but because he is already an established character. I wouldn't want a white person portraying a previously black character either.

I'm personally against it. James Bond is a British white man, and I'd prefer it to stay that way. To me, it's like a scenario in which they make a new Pulp Fiction movie, and making Samuel L. Jackson's role a white man. Or giving Donkey from shrek a white man's voice. It just doesn't work that way.

2 답변No. My reason, James Bond is a fictional character, always depicted as a white male. How does a guy just switch race? It's illogical and I wouldn't acknowledge a black James Bond. Now you could make a spinoff easily, an agent to take Bond's place, who could easily be black, that would be acceptable.

작성자: SpiderMan Two 5/18/2015 2:58:34 PMCasting black people into roles like this is always done simply because they are black, and they are trying to be diverse for the sake of being diverse. Sometimes, characters need to be left alone. Also, yes it is perfectly okay to call black people black. They call themselves that.
