EW says:
Lois Lane and Clark Kent just got their boss: Laurence Fishburne will play Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White in Man of Steel, EW has learned exclusively. White has traditionally been a hard-charging, old fashioned newspaperman, who relies on his ace reporters, Clark and Lois, to get the big scoop. Jackie Cooper played White in the Christopher Reeve-era Superman films, and Frank Langella took on the role in director Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns in 2006.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Nothing like a lil WTF news to start the day off. I know Perry White is just a tertiary character in the series, but why would they decide to change the ethnicity of said character? Hardly a deal breaker for me but still puzzling nonetheless.
I wonder if we decided to make Luke Cage or Blade white how many people from the NAACP would be ok with it, yet we are supposed to not mind when they change the race of a white character.
Its not racist as I am married to a an Asian but honestly how is it ok for Sam Jackson and Fishburne to play white characters but its not ok for white actors to play black characters.
Should he be named Perry Black....?
Awesome now, I propose, Chris Brown, Chris Rock, or that guy from the Rush Hour movies to play Jimmy Olson.
WHY?!?
