Topic: Should a black actor play Spider-Man in the next movie?

I agree; Spiderman should have boobs.

::rolls eyes::

_{Twas a remake, not a sequel. And seriously, you totally missed the point.}

This reminds me of the whole black or white Green Lantern debate...

Well, to be fair, that's redundant.

_{but seriously, folks . . .}

Heeyyyy, I saw that movie and Samuel L. Jackson played the original Shaft's nephew.
Also, just looked it up, and it seems I was mistaken; Shaft's Big Score would be Shaft 2.

Anyway, what point did I miss? The fact that it goes both ways?

My post was a silly one, not to be taken seriously, but you did.

Nevermind!

I am always dead serious, and so I just presumed you were as well.

Wait, you mean they aren't making another Shaft movie with Tom Cruise as the lead? D:

Is that Steve Urkel? lol

I agree with what Terra said, but I still think it would be out of place and odd. Peter Parker has always been a silly white guy.

No, it's Peter Parker.

LOL!

Next up on Nintendolife, TBD bans Warioswoods.

Its different as there are mutiple Green Lanterns because their space cops.

Spiderman isn't a shared tittle.

Look: it's not about having a black Peter Parker or a white Peter Parker: it's about casting the best man for the part. The fact is, all the guys that are on the shortlist to play the new Spiderman are...well, tools. Donald Glover is the only name I've heard so far that actually makes a whole lot of sense, not to mention it makes an otherwise unnecessary reboot a somewhat interesting twist. I just think he'd be perfect for the part.

That whole movie wasn't very well lol. Not cause she was black, but that the movie sucked.

I think you mean to say Shaft 5, as there already was Shaft 1-3 with Richard Roundtree, then 4 with Jackson. Though maybe its a remake or whatever idk, I only saw the original 3.
Oh, and no to a black, asian, german, or even white spider-man. They don't need to reboot the series since its so new still. Move on to something else. There are a plethora of marvel characters were movies could easily work.

I think will smith could play a great clark kent but its not the character.

If they did it i wouldn't be made since glover is the man.

Mohammad Ali was considered for the role of superman in the 70s. Just figure.

Actually, that's exactly what this is about....
Anyway, Peter Parker isn't black. It's as simple as that. If you want to make a comic book movie anywhere near truthful to the original, you can't cast the main character as something he isn't. Peter Parker is not black.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a black actor playing spider man. I think the movies have gotten a bit stale...and switching the actors up would be an interesting move. It's not like the character spider man can't possibly exist if he happens to be black.
