Filmmaker James Gunn has clapped back after armchair critics came for the increased diversity in the latest Guardians of the Galaxy film: “I chose the best actor, period, and the best person for the role.'

“Can’t wait for you all to meet this guy. #GotGVol3 #HighEvolutionary,” Gunn posted on both Twitter and Instagram on March 6. Along with the caption, Gunn included a picture of Iwuji in heavy prosthetics, gearing up to play the character in the Marvel movie.“Damnit... another white guy they made into a black guy,” one user commented under the Instagram post.

A Latino?” the Instagram user rambled. “Or make him an Indian or something... because they don't and won't, that makes them ‘woke’. Next time, a major character will be a trans or homosexual or non-binary . Sad and pathetic. They're picking based on race and whats PC and not on acting and whats established.”“I chose the best actor, period, and the best person for the role.
