justplainsomething:batgirlrising:workforthatsilverlining:wderekr:In case there was still some debate…I love that Man of Steel is mixing up the supporting cast this way. I’m sure Perry White and Jenny (Jimmy) Olsen will still support the plot the same way they do in the Superman mythos, regardless of ethnicity or even gender.YES.I guess it’s a good sign that DC fans aren’t going livid over Perry being played by a black actor the way the Johnny Storm casting is going over at Marvel. Maybe that’s because Perry isn’t a hero or maybe it’s because Fishbourne is just one of those character actors whose ethnicity doesn’t ruffle bigots like an unknown black actor would (ugh, how does that still happen?), but I’m glad how un-newsworthy the casting of these two actors have been because casting women and POCs in strong (and iconic) roles shouldn’t be newsworthy.I am actually and suddenly excited to see this movie.Jenny Olsen! -- source link
