I ran across these amazing Carol Danvers cosplayers in the Marvel.com picture gallery and I wish I knew their names so I can credit them!

You two look awesome! =)

Casting appreciation gif.

This seriously pisses me off because TWO men of the “correct” ethnicity/race were asked to play the role of Khan. I don’t remember their names because this back when Into Darkness was in casting yo but they BOTH DECLINED.

So there’s a HUGE difference between “well, we asked the best in the business and they both said no, so we should go with another actor of the ‘incorrect’ race who is also very well suited for the role” and doing what the Hunger Games did which is literally only let white girls audition for Katniss. 

When actors decline there is fuckall you can do. It’s shitty, no doubt, that Khan ended up being white, but BC did a great job in the role, while knowing he was third choice. I won’t begrudge him for taking it, and I won’t begrudge the casting crew for going with him after their best actors declined. 

^ Bless.

I was not aware that actors of other races were offered the role first and then declined, actually. This is literally the first time anyone has ever talked about it where I can see it? It really changes a fair amount of my opinion on the matter.

Very, very good to know.

Khan’s face was painted in the original. The actor was white.

Ricardo Montalbon was not white. Ricardo Montalban was the son of Spanish immigrants living in Mexico.

Ricardo Montalbon was a Spanish dude playing an Indian dude with the Asian name Khan.

But I am glad to hear that it wasn’t a deliberate casting choice to make him white, and yes, Benedict Cummerbatch did a great job as him.
