Pascal called for opening roles so that they can be cast by actors of different racial or gender identities than how the character was originally portrayed.

I appreciate the way you responded to this and I understand where you’re coming from. I don’t have much to add because I feel like you covered it all to be honest. I think my view of what you described was how the comics have done it, Tim Fox is black Batman, Spider-Gwen is female Spider-Man etc. so there is something for everyone.

Edited: Accidentally used the wrong name for Tim Fox, I used the authors name instead of the characters.
