Seems to me, you might cast a black Magneto if a black guy had the best audition and stuff but I don't really get why you would go into the thing from the planning stage saying "we need somebody black to play Magneto."

But whatever, Magneto/Prof X will probably be cool either way.


So they can write a story where they aren't just hated because they are mutants, but because they are black too.

Guessing the racial politic would even be stronger than the new species politic.

So for what it's worth, TCs story references the article linked below and doesn't quite say the same thing. They're pointing to feige saying that diversity is good when discussing Black Panther, and the separate fact that Disney is looking at how they can differentiate bear X-Men from the previous versions, and making a fairly gigantic leap that the two things taken together mean a black Magneto.

Couldn't they just, I don't know, make sure the roster contains a few of the well-known black mutants that already exist? Maybe finally give Storm the attention she deserves?


This!!!!

In the current Xmen run Magneto is alive sometime after the year 2100 or some shit so I really doubt theyll ever give up his background. It's integral to his character.

If they could find the right actress, Storm could easily carry a movie by herself.

And honestly, this would be the perfect time to try it


THIS.

Christ, enough with the race-swapping, just use the characters we already have, or even make up new ones. Mutants especially have always been easy to create new characters out of because the range of possible powers is virtually endless.

Magneto still being alive is easily explained. Just say biological immortality is one of his mutations.

It just becomes a bit more implausible/silly to keep Prof X as both his contemporary and as an active memeber/teacher of the X-Men.

I say keep Magento, coming up with whatever story you want to explain gaps in his activity, but retire Prof X some time in the 90s and make someone else take his place. Prof X would probably work a bit better as an figurehead representing an ideal, anyway. The same way everyone always argues over what would MLK think about this?

Yeah, if true it's stupid. A Jewish guy wasn't trendy enough, so you gotta darken him up? God forbid they actually write a new character, it's a lot easier to just turn someone black if all you want is the publicity.

Meh, movie will likely suck anyway.

Also, #4 was one of the funniest posts I've seen in years. Bravo.

Storm is probably going to show up in Black Panther 2. I think there will be a lot more focus on her this time around and that's cool since I always found her amazing.

Black Magneto would work, but it's not really necessary. Though I'm thinking they will go with that.

It doesn't mean Xavier has to be black too. One or the other will be fine.

I think the only person who should stay white is Doom. Eastern European nation and all.

My only problem is Magneto probably not being jewish then. Yeah I know black Jews do exist but are not that common. There are not that many promanate Jewish comic characters and Magneto is the best known. That shouldn't be changed.

Xavier? I don't care as long as he's paralysed.

They were meant to represent MLK and Malcolm X from the start. And while Malcolm didnt go through the Holocaust he did have a pretty terrorized childhood, with his house being burned down by the KKK, his father being murdered in the street by KKK members, and the state taking his mother away from him and his siblings.

No, they weren't. The X-Men were not created as commentary on civil rights. That didn't come until way later.

They don't even need to do that. There's over 100 black super powered individuals in the Marvel Universe that haven't shown up on the screen. I for one wish they'd do a Blue Marvel movie.

Ah true, it was formed a bit later by Chris Claremont and continued though, plus Stan Lee was happy that it did and even tried to retcon and say thats how he meant it from the beginning.

Its been a part of the fabric of X-Men since the early 1980s.

Yep, that's when people actually started reading X-Men. There is zero mention of any civil rights in those early comics when the series went to reprints.
