But skillz, who is in the movie industry and is black, said nothing about Blade necessitates him being black, so I guess you got your answer? I think the biggest question in this thread... what movies HAVE you seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everyone is cool with a Blade remake staring James McAvoy Na... but I would be cool with one starring Daniel Wu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can and probably will. But there's also no reason why the producers can't just leave well enough alone either. But at this point the diversity police might hurl insults, burn cars, riot, loot, etc etc if they don't move forward with this idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I think Spiderman handled this the best with Miles. Have a new 00 movie with black lead... just don't have it be bond. I don't see what the drawbacks to that are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 You know who would make a cool Blade? Oscar Isaac. Blade's race isn't intrinsic to the character so I don't see an issue with it. Same thing with a black Bond. As long as he is from the UK I have no problems with his skin color. That part that doesn't matter. Ireland is in the UK, so that shouldn't be an issue for Bond either.

It was a cute scene in the movie but it was completely idiotic. EDIT: I just watched the movie recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Speaking of Ruby Rose not being Jewish, is Batwoman Jewish heritage, or Jewish religion? If it's religion and not race I don't think Ruby Rose not being Jewish matters that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be really weird if she's supposed to be a convert to Judaism yet she's still just referred to as "being Jewish". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
