If you really want to make an impact...don't change what's already existed...make something brand new and create your own legacy...is that too much to ask? you sound like those Star Wars fans who get angry when they see anyone non-white on screen So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I love how those roles generally go to critically acclaimed actors. Maybe in 20 years after 50 movies and at least one Oscar nom he can be one of those two characters.

My only problem with his statement is his lack of acting talent. Give it to a Latino that can act. Like Benicio Del Toro or Andy Garcia in his 30's or 40's could have been great as either character.

ThisGuyTony 29,372 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 He got a minor role in Encanto and JLo’s movie so it makes sense he wants to lead a movie. Butttt I’m sick of remakes tbh.

doraemon 924 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 i don't really care about race, for my belief, is that if you can do it, then do it. the real question is: Does he have what it takes to be Batman/James Bond? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I still believe it would be nice to have more than just a cis hetero Caucasian American batman as long as we're getting a new movie about him every 2 or 3 years 🥲 oh yeah, don't worry, i also figured that you were talking more in general and not about maluma specifically, i just wanted to point that out hahaha Mad Architect of Light Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
