i dont see the problem with anyone acting the role… as long as they can act like a respectable smart teen – and a wacky sideshow crime fighter.
and not will smith doing his… im the ‘man’ routine…
Always nice to hear from Stan himself. Ik think he has a point: it would be confusing to have a black actor portraying Peter Parker. It’s not a racial issue, Peter Parker is a white character. It’s as simple as that.
Stan’s the man!
Very well said.
Very classy analysis of the situation from the Man.
Stan the Man has spoken.
So he ain fer it, he aginit
he hit the nail on the coffin.
well said Stan!!!
How frank and honest.
Really robs from the moment that he went to MTV NEWS to talk about it. *facepalm*
So I can audition? Time for a pudgy, out of shape Spidey!
