What I'm saying is, I want Hollywood to get creative and develop new franchises, and new roles specifically for Black actors. That way, you aren't recasting traditional white roles with black actors just because. Developing new franchises out of thin air is risky and doesn't happen often. Hence the chances it will be successful are small and the chances of it having a black lead are also small. James Bond is a guaranteed hit, and it gives a black actor a rare chances to star in a established franchise. Colour of skin shouldn't even come into it, it should go to the best person for the job. James Bond was written in mind with what a spy in the 1950s Mi5 would look like. Yes he would be a white, british male. But newsflash, its 2018; the films are not being made as if the period of time is in the 50s-90s. Why cant a black male be an agent at Mi5 today? No reason at all. Therefore there is no problem. James Bond is also based on a long series of novels. It’s not like Hollywood didn’t have groundwork for the character. That’s most likely whats helped his longevity the most. |
