Joe is already a white character...

Simply make another original story of a black man in the same world. Not a full chroma swap.

Race bending is not diversity. Hollywood barely invests in independent black projects, but wants to promote this.

Mahershala is an amazing actor so he can definitely pull it off but whew, the yt gamers are going to lose their sh!t :oops:. They LOVE Joel (well I do too but not the same lol).

Huge fan of the game but the fandom is absolutely diabolical. The way they lost it at how the fact that the second game would focus of female characters, Joel dying and just everything in the second game, I just know they’re gonna eat him alive. I hope he can block the hate out because he’s a great actor. HBO never said they would make a 100% similar or parallel adaptation. Joel being white is not important in his role so race swapping is not an issue.

I’m just bothered by how Hollywood keeps putting black actors in « the black version of » roles instead of creating roles exclusively made for us. It feels like they’re setting them up to be abused by racist fans.

I love his face. I watched Moonlight for the first time last week and was disappointed to find he's only in the first act.

Mahershala is a good actor, but he doesn't suit the character to me. He looks too young to play Joel(I know he's 46/47). Someone who looks aged and scruffy like Hugh Jackman or even Idris Elba would be good. I'll watch either way since I like both the game & Mahershala.

They already are. Look at the replies to the tweet in the OP e1 going on about Ryan Gosling should play Malcolm X and Joel should be white because he’s from Texas

They are so predictable :ROFLMAO:

Ryan Gosling should play Malcolm X

Lmao! I'd like to see him try.

Joel should be white because he’s from Texas

Out of all the valid reasons they could have chosen to plead their case, they chose the dumbest one. I didn't know Texas was 100% yt. Wow you learn something knew everyday!

Exactly, it's gonna be Black man babysits little girl. Tyrese from the Walking Dead all over again. Not to mention, his death in the second game is brutal.

They are insufferable. This is a fictional game so it doesn’t even matter what race Joel is.

Watch this be a black man saving a little white girl

I didn’t think about this. The relationship between Joel and Ellie is pivotal to the plot, so yeah it will show a black man risking his life to save a white girl.

But Mahershala is a fantastic actor. After the way all the black male characters were horribly written in TWD, I’m 100% here for a black Rick Grimes character in a post apocalyptic zombie setting.

If Mahershala doesn’t get cast, I wouldn’t mind Jaime Lannister (Nikolai Coster Waldau) getting cast. He looks kinda like Joel.
