... objectively phenomenal actors like Michael B. Jordan...

Indeed. Like Casian Andor, the titular character, played by Diego Luna.

Smallville’s Lex Luthor was a ginger as a child, before losing his hair in the rain of kryptonite meteors.

I’m not entirely sure why, but I read every quote in that entire article in the voice of a late-40s era Hollywood German pastiche.

I don’t have a problem with a black Superman, but I don’t think Jordan is the right man for the job. Despite playing serious roles in Black Panther, Creed, and Fahrenheit 451, he lacks the quiet nobility you expect from a character like Superman - a man who knows he possesses the power of a god, but wants little more…

Perhaps even a much longer blade. Like a sword.

Palmer nanotech braidbots.

I’m also noticing a strange double standard on io9 where Marvel gets chided for not changing their characters race while DC is just as bad with their pearly white casting (why can’t Superman or Wayne be changed up?).

“...the smuggler wanted to fulfill his life debt to Chewbacca by helping the Wookiee liberate his still-occupied home planet of Kashyyk...”

I’m confused. Since when does Han Solo owe Chewbacca a Life Debt. It’s always been the other way around, even in canon. (See Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know.)

He’s actually eight months older than Affleck...
