Do I think the MCU could have cast someone better for the role than Brie? Sure... but then I think the same thing about a number of the roles in the MCU. Doesn't mean that Brie deserves to get kicked out just because some people are unhappy with her casting. On a different note, if people are going to play the "diversity" card then I suggest they go with Kamala Khan for Captain Marvel instead of Monica Rambeau. Cast Priyanka Chopra in it. She'd be the first Indian (or maybe even the first Asian) to portray a major superhero character in Hollywood. Kamala Khan is Ms Marvel. She isn't Captain Marvel. At least Carol became Captain Marvel in the comics. Also, Kamala is Pakistani. Not Indian. And a teenager.

I know all that, but they could easily just amalgamate the different versions into one Captain Marvel. They already did that with a few characters in the MCU anyway. Heck, MCU Valkyrie is like an amalgam of Caiera and Brunhilde which have no relation to each other at all. I also don't care about the nationality of the actor as long as they look the part. |

Recasting a Pakistani as an Indian is a shitstorm Marvel does not want to start.

I was talking about the nationality of the character Kamala. You changed the nationality of the character by saying the actress would be the 1st Indian/Asian to portray a superhero. You talk about diversity then change the nationality of the character? People would know that this Indian woman is playing a Pakistani character. Then you chose an actress that is 20 years older than the character. And making an amalgamation of the Captain/Ms Marvel's. Why not just merge Stark and Rhodey together? They are the pretty much the same. You do know the more characters you have the more characters you can add to movies right? Also, they didn't make an amalgam of Caiera and Brunhilde, they only put Brunhilde in that spot in a Thor movie. The Hulk portion was only based on Planet Hulk. I mean, Thor isn't an amalgamation of Thor and Hulk from Planet Hulk.

Recasting a Pakistani as an Indian is a shitstorm Marvel does not want to start. Heck, Hollywood does that all the time casting Chinese as Japanese or Koreans and stuff. I know there's a movie where Momoa was cast as Mexican or something. In Into the Badlands they cast a Filipino kid as half-black/half-chinese.

You comparing a movie you can't name to a high profile movie that would be a sequel to a billion dollar movie?

Brie as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel is kind of growing on me now, especially after seeing Endgame.

All because she said a kids movie isn't for 40 year old white dudes.
I just hope when they make a movie about it, it's called No Country for Forty Year Old Men.

A stupid thing to get mad over, But lets be honest if a male actor had said the same thing about 40 year old women. We would get the same reaction from some women as we have gotten from some men.

Oscars a shame and are politics. Plenty of talented actresses with no oscars that are better. You know one already I hope you're not talking about that ugly bitch, Kat Dennings. Far better actress than Bi--- Larson

I'm talking about this. It's a potential landmine Marvel would do best to avoid.
