Ridiculous: White Supremacist Group Calling For Boycott Of Movie 'Thor' Because A Black Actor, Idris Elba From 'The Wire' Has Been Cast As Heimdall [Trailer Inside]

Trailer After The Jump


 

We’re days away from the year 2011, yet ignorance and hate based on a person’s skin color still exists.

A white supremacist group upset that actor Idris Elba, a black man has been cast as Heimdall in the upcoming ‘Thor‘ movie, wants it boycotted reports UK Guardian.

The Council of Conservative Citizens, which opposes interracial marriage and also calls Martin Luther King a "left wing agitator" and Communist has set up a website, boycott-thor.com.

They accuse Marvel Comics of inserting “social engineering into Greek mythology, casting a black man as a Norse deity.” The group also claims the comic giant used “Captain America to attack the Tea Party movement,” in 2010.

Elba, an English actor who is quite familiar to American fans after starring in ’The Wire’, ’Obsessed’, and ‘American Gangster’, thinks the controversy is ridiculous.

We all know someone of a different ethnic background, we all mix, so it’s great to have a character who happens to be black in the central position,” the actor said earlier this year. “There has been a big debate about it, can a black man play a Nordic character. Thor’s mythical right? Thor has a hammer that flies to him when he clicks his fingers. That’s ok, but the color of my skin is a problem?”


‘Thor’ is being directed by Kenneth Branagh and also stars Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins. It’s expected in theaters Summer 2011.

It is Norse mythology not Greek. What a bunch of Dumbass rednecks. Look if it was a movie based off the actual Norse myths, then casting a black guy as a Norse god would be weird Especially since Heimdall was call the "white god" lol. But it is a comic book so they can do what ever they want and it is cool.

Good. I'm glad they're all pissed off. I love it when idiot groups like that get their panties in a bunch. Over FICTIONAL CHARACTERS no less! Plus this isn't an adaptation of the Mythology.. It's an adaptation of characters in the Marvel Universe...where the Mythology ALSO exists but have real-life counterparts.

REPRESENT
FOR THE BLACK PEOPLE

I think it's fitting that Heimdall is cast as Black. Anyone do some research on the Vikings and Norse Mythology and you will see that the religion (Norse Gods) comes from more ancient roots....which are Black. Odin with his one eye is Heru...do the knowledge..
