Shae’s Two Cents: Film Directors and Producers play with ethnicity, breaking the “law” of film originals

There’s an obvious difference here or is it? I think that it is fun and very relieving to see film directors and producers play with roles like this. It can either have a good or bad turn out. First, we have Michael B. Jordan who has landed the role of Johnny Storm in the upcoming Fantastic Four film, which caused an uproar because of the change of character and the change of race. People tried to dance around that reason but, we all know the truth. Now we have Quvenzhané Wallis playing as Annie, another film character who was originally white. Of course people are going to have their negative standpoint but face it, we are taking over Hollywood.  It doesn’t pay to hate. These two films have to show and prove and I believe they will. I’m just excited about Hollywood being versatile and daring when it comes to role change up! Lets prove these haters wrong and kill these roles Michael and Quvenzhané!
