I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been mentioned on this board at all that the villains in the last two MCU movies (including one who is supposed to be the big bad of this era) are insane, irredeemable assholes, both played by black men.


There was some discussion about Kang the Conqueror being black, since he's supposed to be a descendant of Reed and Sue Richards. Turns out they never really specify how far of a descendant he is, so whatevs. It's plausible. I still don't like race swaps but I'm not going to pretend this is some major, beloved character with a huge following of people who are going to be put off by this casting.

With High Evolutionary, isn't he an alien? Not sure it's possible to race swap an alien, and again I don't think this was some beloved character people have an image of ingrained in their minds. The actor did a fantastic job. To me, I'll picture him when I think of High Evolutionary.

Not in the comics. But they can give him any background they want in the movies, I suppose.

Pretty sure the in the comics he’s 1000 years in the future so pretty damn plausible for Reed to be white and Kang to be black or whatever race

This. That dude was a great bad guy - good actor too.

Enjoyed seeing Nathan Fillian and Michael Rosenbaum in the movie as well.
