An *explanation was given in the film* as to why Johnny was black....he was adopted (or was it Alba?). Adoption was involved.

What explanation was given for black Idris Elba being an Asgardian a EUROPEAN WHITE GOD???

U seem to willfully ignore the mass reaction to a white cast playing asian characters in the hideously terrible Dragonball and Avatar last Airbender live action movies?....and these are just entertainment characters not beings who where religiously worshipped, exalted by people for centuries like mythological figures....their gods....to whom they and their ancestors cried to, prayed to them, begged forgiveness and guidance, asked for strength, sang and danced praises and made sacrifices, etc, etc.

If Marvel was soooo desperate for diversity in Thor movies, they should have had Idris play Beta Ray Bill instead....they character is wholly work of Marvel fiction who does NOT exist in Norse mythology. That would have been fine.
