'Fantastic Four' director says studio vetoed plans to cast a black woman as Sue Storm. 🤔

that he received death threats, and started sleeping with a gun on his nightstand.)

In the Geeks of Color interview, Trank expressed regret that he did not stand up to the studio on the casting issue. "When I look back on that, I should have just walked when that realization hit me, and I feel embarrassed about that, that I didn’t just out of principle," he said. "Because those aren’t the values I stand for in my own life, and those weren’t the values then or ever for me.

The OG movie was better. But having mixed siblings or even the same ethnicity wouldn’t have made it better, the whole story was bad. 🌈 I’m hand making masks to help pay my bills. Thank you to anyone who looks, it’s greatly appreciated! masks sale

Why he say it like that would've saved this movie from being absolute dogshit lol

NOOOOOOO

The movie that he wrote and directed that removed Sue (the only female member of the team) from the expedition and replaced her with another man -basically removing her from the Fantastic Four's origin? That movie? Yeah...that was shit.

Should have vetoed the whole movie and started from scratch. Change the race of as many characters as you want. Doesn't matter to me. But please make a GOOD Fantastic Four movie. Please?

That fantastic 4 film makes the previous two films more awesome by comparison. I wish we could've gotten more of the ones with Jessica Alba in them. Just my opinion

Dear God.... Just make a good movie!

either Hollywood is run by racists and the access media ignored it for years or Josh trank is desperate for relevance and is exaggerating an issue to score points. Neither would surprise me.

I like it when the woke crowd eats its own

I’m not making light of the racism because at this point it doesn’t suprise me, merely disgusts me further. However, this movie was DOA way before this fact came out. In fact, regardless of race, I’m not sure I would want to be associated with it....

THATS TRASH! But also...so was the movie. So they accidentally saved a black woman from this. 😂

This movie was trash

F4 was a terrible movie. I won't be seeing Trank's newest one due to his mediocrity as a film maker.

The fact that Trank got death threats for Jordan’s role is sad. People are so closed minded. It’s not like we don’t get enough roles from the white man’s perspective. Switching it up is a great way to put a new take of a movie that’s already been done.

Changing white characters 2black ones wont change people who’s thinking is stuck 💯years in the past 😞 we need equality in business &education,EVERYONE needs 2 believe &work 4their futures with equal strides or we have no hope for the future It reflects on all of us when we dont

Wut ?!

Yeah like that would have saved this move from being terrible.

Why are they afraid of the backlash?

Lucky her
