I know right? I’ve been hoping to see him play as a pregnant Asian woman. He’s just holding himself back…
Are they just typecasting him???

Imagine him playing a woman giving birth, the mutherfucking force of nature unleashed at that moment would be rewarded with all Oscars, at once.

Absolutely.

If Daniel Day Lewis wasn’t retired for the 3rd or 4th time, he’d be all over it. Maybe Christian Bale’s available.

If anyone could play a preggo Asian woman, you know it’s
Rob Schneider!

It’s just racist. For a long time gay actors were afraid to come out because they would be stuck only playing gay parts (very few).
Black people need to get together and protest. They need to convince directors that they can play white characters too! Black actors shouldn’t be afraid to come out as black.

you say this but rdj doesn't always play white guys

Does playing a white guy playing a black guy count?
"What do you mean, you people?"
"What do YOU MEAN, you people??"

I’m the dude who’s playing a dude who’s disguised as another dude.

Can you imagine an SL Jackson and RDJ movie where they race swap? That would be hilarious!

White Chicks sequel looking 🔥
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Because he is not as versatile of an actor as esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, of course.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Why does Margot Robbie always play black guys?
Liz@midwest.social 2 years ago
Margot Robbie, I’m beginning to think you’re not the real Margot Robbie.
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It’s almost scary how good I am at acting…
Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But a bet MargotRobbie is a real Margot Robbie.

Robert Downey Jr. isn’t held back by such constraints.
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 years ago
He played a black guy in Teopic Thunder.
AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 2 years ago
Which is weird because how can a black guy be cast as a white guy in every single movie he’s been in except one?
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No no he’s a black actor who played a white man in everything but Tropic Thunder.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Noooo no one knows that
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 years ago
In star wars, he didn’t play a black guy, he played an alien.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 years ago
The real human homeworld is actually in the Star Wars galaxy.
Don’t worry about it. It’s not Tattoine. We didn’t destroy that climate too.

Nick Fury wasn’t always a black character.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That is true. They changed him to look like Sam Jackson. And then they started making Marvel movies afterwards, and were able to cast him as Nick Fury.
kelargo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Jim Steranko art style was unique.
Taalen@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Well, he does play Nick Fury.
dudinax@programming.dev 2 years ago
He plays a white guy in Kingsmen.
FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 years ago
White guy with a lisp, you almost can’t recognize him
ryper@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
Nick Fury was Black in the (first) Ultimate universe
Taalen@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I’m not a Marvel guy, but I’m vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it’s something I only learned of after the movies.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I think the bigger issue there is that Nick Fury fought in World War II.

You can’t prove his character in Inglorious Basterds isn’t white
Etterra@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Because when he tried to play a white guy he got sued by Dave Chappelle.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 years ago
He didn’t play a black guy in Coming to America.

Literally the best show ever made. I’ve seen every episode like 80 times, and it’s still hilarious every time.
AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 2 years ago
Uncle Ruckus pledging to beat and harass every black person with extreme prejudice is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
