I'll just leave this motherfucker here.

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 4 months ago

Perfect casting decision IMO

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

RIP Charlie Murphy.

[-] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Boondocks my beloved.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 52 points 4 months ago

I know right? I've been hoping to see him play as a pregnant Asian woman. He's just holding himself back..

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

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

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago

Jackson would probably have more engaging birth than Arnold's scene in Junior.

[-] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 1 points 4 months ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

He absolutely is, yes.

Is Arnold a joke to you?

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

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

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

[-] BanjoShepard@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

If he can play a stapler, he can be a pregnant Asian woman too!

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] polonius-rex@kbin.run 27 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago
[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 27 points 4 months ago

Does playing a white guy playing a black guy count?

"What do you mean, you people?"

"What do YOU MEAN, you people??"

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

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

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

User name checks out?

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 14 points 4 months ago

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

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago

White Chicks sequel looking 🔥

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

They've got a point. Robert Downey Jr. has played many white roles over the years.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

Because he is not as versatile of an actor as esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, of course.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Why does Margot Robbie always play black guys?

[-] Liz@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago

Margot Robbie, I'm beginning to think you're not the real Margot Robbie.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

It's almost scary how good I am at acting...

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

But a bet MargotRobbie is a real Margot Robbie.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

In star wars, he didn't play a black guy, he played an alien.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 4 months 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.

(It is, we did)

[-] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago
[-] Taalen@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Well, he does play Nick Fury.

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago

He plays a white guy in Kingsmen.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

White guy with a lisp, you almost can’t recognize him

[-] ryper@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago

Nick Fury was Black in the (first) Ultimate universe

[-] Taalen@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months 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 1 points 4 months ago

I think the bigger issue there is that Nick Fury fought in World War II.

[-] Shkshkshk@dice.camp 7 points 4 months ago

@Godric
So unfair that they keep typecasting black actors into playing black characters.

[-] kelargo@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Nick Fury wasn't always a black character.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months 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.

Plus you're just repeating what multiple other people have already said a day ago.

[-] kelargo@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Jim Steranko art style was unique.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

You can't prove his character in Inglorious Basterds isn't white

[-] Marcocappe@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

It's not me guys!

[-] TheEntity@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Because he's good at playing outlaws, duh. /s

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Because when he tried to play a white guy he got sued by Dave Chappelle.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

(black) samuel_jackson

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

He didn't play a black guy in Coming to America.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Or the boondocks
