I don't care if he's black (lol, Troy from Community?), but I didn't like the last Spiderman movie series (saw 1, though it was okay, 2 was crap, didn't bother seeing 3) and I think they should wait a while until rebooting the series. I don't get why Hollywood is so quick to revive all the comic book heroes.

Tell them we should have a white actor play MLK in the next movie. That will get them to STFU.

It really doesn't matter who plays him as long as it's a decent movie.

I've never seen any of those five white actors in anything. I like the guy from Community. He wouldn't be my first choice for Spider-Man, but I don't care as long as they never make another Spider-Man movie as bad as Spider-Man 3.

makes me think of:

Paul Mooney: (reviewing "The Last Samurai") First, they have "The Mexican" with Brad Pitt, now they have "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise. Well, I've written a film, maybe they'll produce my film. The Last awesome dude on Earth, starring Tom Hanks. How about that?

Who cares? The Spider Man movies killed the superhero for me, pussified the hell out of peter parker for one. 90s cartoon for life.

More retarded than making Nick Fury black in Iron Man. God forbid they made War Machine white we'd have Al Sharpton protesting outside of the Marvel building.

So now they have black actors playing characters in Marvel comics who are originally and currently white.

First they change Kingpin in Daredevil, then Nick Fury in Iron Man. Oh, Silver Surfers voice is done by a black actor too.
D.C. Comics is guilty too. Changing Catwoman to a black character.
Some movies too, The Nutty Professor and Dr. Dolittle were originally white characters. Almost forgot about Wild Wild West.

WTF are they thinking?

Here's a petition on-line to stop this (not sure if it's current)

Stop Remaking White Movies / TV Shows With Black Actors

Sounds way better than the other options I saw being tossed around; Troy is awesome. They are going a totally different way with the series now, so it's not surprising. I don't expect them to ever achieve the awesomeness of Spiderman 2 again anyway.

Seeing how they portray Jesus as a white person, I fail to see the problem with this. Of course an ATOTer posted a link to a petition to stop having black actors play fake characters. It's not like Samuel Jackson is playing Elvis or Denzel is playing JFK. It's some fucking Marvel superheros for shits sake.
