Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Neither of those are Latino either (one's coded Asian and the other is a eastern european Romani). It's more likely they're race lifting somebody.
On the note of Chadwick, there is a bittersweetness to seeing that the movie he put so much passion into is carrying forward. It's a delicate situation but I trust Coogler and the crew to tackle with it properly.
I imagine BP 2 will open with a memorial on T'challa's honor (or his burial but that might be Too Soon).
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I feel like that'd have a few Unfortunate Implications.
The ultimate evil and the closest thing Marvel has to Satan being Latino would be easy to read uncomfortably to say the least.
That being said if he's gonna show up as human at all he's got to have some ethnic appearance so you're bound to offend someone anyway. Unless you hire several diverse people to play him taking different shapes, or he's inhuman looking enough to the point of being unrecognizable as any race.
Hell, even making Mephisto white would come with its own Unfortunate Implications regarding white Europeans as default.
There's a lot of telenovelas with latin actors playing el diablo.
This really seems like a reach.
I don't see why it would be.

As a Latino (if one of the Latino odd man out of Brazil) I would agree. As long as he's no stereotypical go for it.
Hell, I'm even partial to the idea of incrementing elements of Mexican portrayals of the Devil if done with care by someone who knows what they're doing.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."But are there any with a latin actor played El Diablo Robotico?
One Strip! One Strip!Oh, and he doesn't say it out loud, but judging by his comment to Hemsworth's instagram post, Chris Pratt basically just confirmed he'll be in Love and Thunder.
We probably knew that already, but whatever!
Fat Thor had its problems but I hope they let Hemsworth settle on a medium instead of going back to super ripped and also majorly dehydrated
Forever liveblogging the Avengers

Wonder who could Huerta be playing? I can't think of anyone from BP's rogue gallery who is latino.
Maybe... Namor? DOOM?
