The Quantum Ranger is coming to Battle for the Grid
I don't agree with anything that was in that article. His argument is that Magneto is a POC because he is Jewish- He even stated that if he converted he would not be a POC any more. That is not how it works at all. Hey everyone Donald Trump has a POC child and grandchild! It is like the augment that having red hair makes you a minority.
Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting
Black Wall Street,Rosewood just a few black towns that were massacred by white mobs in the Jim Crow era. So yeah I'd agree someone who survived that might have the same issues Magneto displayed in those movies. Also Magneto only became Jewish in 1975 an addition by Chris Claremont who admits his Prof. x vs Magneto political debate was co-opted from MLK and Malcolm X.
Another little known fact that there were black survivors of the holocaust in Germany. It would be interesting to see this brought to light in an X-men movie.

Years ago they tried to change Magneto's character of one into Rom background in the comics. This change didn't last so long as it felt disrespectful to what was already there.
Of course with it being 2023+ in the Marvel film universe , that era has long since past. By the time the characters appear in this universe they will be over 90+ years old and it wouldn't work. So I can see them going outside things and casting who they want here. Which will piss fanboys off. But they'd have to understand ..unless they use time travel etc , its not gonna work.
(I can see the Fantastic Four using time travel in an origin story to introduce them into modern day Marvel film universe)

But Magneto was not always Jewish, was he? Wasn't he originally portrayed as Romany, or Gypsy, which was also one of the groups the Nazis targeted, so making him Jewish didn't really change his sense of being victimized by the Nazis, it just made it easier for American audiences to relate.
He was obviously less hateful...
Magneto is a straight, Alpha, White dude.....him being angry at the world for discrimination would be hard to swallow If that ONE experience was the one and only thing you hinge it on
NO....No it's not lol
It wadnt really stated what his ethnic background was just that he lost his family in massacre. It wasn't until Jewish writer Chris Claremont wrote a scene about Magnetos number tattoo

Why does the MCU even need to lean into the metaphor when they are making Black Panther films with Killmonger outright trying to arm Black Folks as a plot point?
Denzel in the MCU as a saner version of Achebe (and I HATE Achebe) I'm fine with. Or Denzel playing any Eternal they can think of or with him doing
anything that wasn't playing either Charles or Magneto.
The Malcolm/Martin notion aside, strictly speaking on character basis, I think he could portray the gravitas of the character quite well. I saw another fancast that had him as Reed Richards that I prefer due to his more comedic/lighthearted leanings but he's versatile enough for both
I don't understand how this is not bigger news. Like it's pretty much in book form now that the current CEO of Marvel is a bigot. Yet CBR is posting news about Kevin Feige doing star wars movie and not the fact that Ike is one of the primary reasons we had to wait so long for a freaking black super hero movie.
