Does it ever annoy Americans how an awful lot of the big TV shows and films are fronted by British actors, including some of the quintessential American roles? Just off the top of my head you have the recent Spiderman being played by a British actor, the Spiderman before that, the current Superman, the previous Batman, Doctor Strange, the last 2 Star Wars movies were led by British actresses. Then in terms of TV it's often you find a British actor as one of the leads in the big shows around these days, whether it be Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, The Walking Dead.
As a proud Brit myself, I like seeing how successful we're doing over there in the states. Can't say it particularly bothers me when it's the reverse and American actors or from elsewhere, take on our roles, such as Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe playing Robin Hood, although The Other Boleyn Girl was a weird one when the 3 most important characters in a biographical story concerning Henry VIII aren't played by British actors, and the outside characters are. Needless to say it's America that finances the majority of these films and TV shows and their market that comes first.
