That Heimdall thing went same way as Sam L Jackson playing Nick Fury where there was a collective 'it's not to the original but we'll allow it because it just works'
The Bond thing was shut down by him if I remember right as a lot of people said he'd be perfect for it but he himself didn't want to be remembered as 'the black Bond' and was blown up that he didn't get the part for racism blah blah blah.
I don’t recall anyone complaining about Sam Jackson as Fury. Marvel’s Ultimate series of comics specifically imagined Sam Jackson as Fury long before the movies came out, and he quickly became the best incarnation of the character.
It was part of the deal to use his likeness and it paid off big.
Marvel didn't ask him before they did that though, so to avoid having the shit sued out of them they gave him the MCU gig.
How dare you!
As far as Fury goes, I just consider the current Fury to be a totally different person from Sgt Fury of the Howling Commandoes comics, because THAT Nick Fury would have been old as fuck or dead by the time the MCU started! What is mildly irksome, though, is that they seem to have erased og Fury, and given the Howling Commandoes to Cap (unless one could say that Fury died in combat just before that?)
As far as Heimdall goes, that was just gratuitous blackfacing of "the whitest of the Gods."
Comics Nick Fury lived that long, ish, because he had a super serum sort of like Captain America received, just not as power enhancing. Several other heroes also had this which is why they have lived so long.
