Being a Black man myself, it makes me smile. If studios want &#8220;more color&#8221; in their movies, then I&#8217;m not going to protest them for it. It brings in another demographic. Which makes more money. I get it. If fans don&#8217;t like it, then there&#8217;s something they can do besides boycotting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ryanmcbain.com\/flowcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Michael-B-Jordan-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ryanmcbain.com\/flowcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Michael-B-Jordan-.jpg\" alt=\"Human Torch\" width=\"460\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ryanmcbain.com\/flowcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Michael-B-Jordan-.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.ryanmcbain.com\/flowcheck\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Michael-B-Jordan--300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, Johnny Storm is now Black.

That makes more sense than changing the race of the superhero. <\/p>\n<p>If this were done, we would get more diversity, and the movies would stay true to the source. Everyone would be happy!
