Marvel Reportedly Looking For Person Of Color To Play 'X-Men's' Magneto

So in the newest thing to piss people off, Marvel is looking for someone of color to play Magneto.

And as you can probably guess from the title, people had a lot to say on the matter.

If you have an opinion about it, be sure to let us know what you think below in the comments!

The rumors also have to do with Xavier, but people are really more interested in Magneto.

After all, he's one of the most iconic supervillains of all time, so it's no wonder that people would be wanting to know more.

To the point that it was number one in trending on Twitter!

Some people are really upset about it.

And are making some comparisons, that, I'll admit, I am very confused about.

I'm not sure how those two are connected, but maybe I'm the one who can't see straight.

Others are more concerned with telling new stories.

And taking characters that are already black (for example), and putting the spotlight on them.

Which, beyond any reboots, should definitely happen! There are tons of characters that aren't white (or straight) that deserve attention!

Some excellent points were made.

Really, it's true.

Anyone who knows anything about the X-Men knows that they were literally created to point out racism.
