You're right, I shouldn't be jumping to conclusions simply based on the race of the actors and there are a bunch of black actors who I'd love to see pop up in this or other superhero movies. I think it's just these two specific actors that set me on edge. Kravitz has a history of bitching about how black actresses don't get offered good roles and how there isn't enough diversity ("Why do stories happen to white people and everyone else is a punchline?"). Jeffrey Wright, meanwhile, has been a rabid TDS sufferer from way back ("May the election of Trump bring forth the fiercest, smartest, toughest generation of ass-kicking women this country could possibly imagine." - you can see why he was happy to play such a milquetoast character on Westworld)

Recasting and reinventing characters isn't a problem, it just becomes a little played out when it only goes in one direction.
