The actor who will give life to Johnny Storm said the race change his character to mark the beginning change of mentality Hollywood and superheroes have more roles for African Americans.
The actor Michael B. Jordan will responded to critics who disagreed with the character of Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) change of race in the new movie ‘Fantastic 4′.
Michael B Jordan explains that Johnny and Susan do not have to be brothers “classic style”. And it supports the theory of the adoption for the character played by Kate Mara is his sister.
The actor said he has had to endure criticism from people who did not agree with that one to film.
‘A black man? I do not like. They should be doing because President Obama is’ and ‘is not faithful to the comic’. Or even, ‘They have destroyed’, he says he found in social networks wanting to see how fans took the news.
Jordan says it has ceased to be overwhelmed by the negativity, and you can see the perspective of everyone when it comes to go against 50 years of continuity in the comics.
“Also, if Stan Lee writes an email to my manager saying, ‘Okay, I agree with this,’ Who am I to go against that? … Sometimes you have to be the one who fights and says, ‘I will be the take up all this hatred. I’ll take the brunt for the next couple of generations’. I put that responsibility on myself. People are always going to be examined in terms of race, but maybe in the future will not talk much about it. Maybe if I serve as an example, Hollywood begin to consider more people of color in other important roles, and maybe we can reach people that is rooted in the mentality of ‘it must be true to the comics’ “wrote the actor.
“For Internet trolls, mean: Get your head out of your computer. Get outside and give a ride. It looks at the people walking around us, “he concluded.
The premiere of ‘Fantastic 4′ is scheduled for August 7. This is a new version of the comic. The cast is headed by Jordan, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara and Miles Teller.
