Kumail Nanjiani Was Told People Don’t Want to Cast Nonwhite Actors as
Villains
The 'Eternals' actor suggests the good intentions of progressive-minded
Hollywood decision-makers can "sometimes lead to misguided solutions: If the
bad guy is a brown guy, what message is that sending?"
Kumail Nanjiani says Hollywood is still limiting the kinds of roles that
actors of color can play.
The Eternals, Big Sick and Silicon Valley actor, who is promoting his recent
Hulu limited series Welcome to Chippendales, said in a new interview that
decision-makers are reluctant to cast nonwhite actors in villain roles.
“I think that Hollywood now — even though they’re trying to be more
diverse — is still weird,” the actor told Esquire UK. The article notes
Nanjiani believes that the problem is “good intentions can sometimes lead to
misguided solutions: If the bad guy is a brown guy, what message is that
sending?”
“And that’s just as limiting as anything else,” Nanjiani said. “I want to
play more bad guys.” He pointed to actor Sebastian Stan, who plays Marvel
superhero the Winter Solider as well as a cannibal in the 2022 movie Fresh. “
He does these big Marvel movies, and then he’ll play a psychopath,” he
says. “I was told that’s going to be hard because people don’t want to
cast nonwhite people as bad guys.”
In Welcome to Chippendales, Nanjiani plays the iconic strip club’s Indian
founder, Somen “Steve” Banerjee, as he goes from an up-and-coming
businessman in the 1980s to a vilified accessory to murder in the early ’
90s. Nanjiani added that he suspects such a role would have gone to a white
actor if the project wasn’t based on a true story.
Previously, Nanjiani told THR about the role: “I’ve never gotten the
opportunity to play a character like this, who has such a big arc and a
descent into darkness. I’ve always [wanted to play] the bad guy — I don’t
mean just guys who were kind of shitty; I mean a bad bad guy. The story
itself was so exciting and unexpected. There are, like, 20 unbelievable
things that happen in the course of our show, and that all happened in real
life. And it had interesting stuff to say about the American dream and how
accessible it is to different kinds of people, and to see that through the
lens of an immigrant. I’m an immigrant, and I had a certain idea of the
American dream before coming here. And now, obviously, that’s evolved. To be
able to explore that through the eyes of someone who, in some ways, had a
similar experience to me is rare.”
Welcome to Chippendales is available to stream now on Hulu.

就不翻译了，简单说几点
．Nanjiani讲的是整个好莱坞的情况 不是单指漫威或单指超级英雄片
．简单说他就是在bitching moaning complaining有色人种的角色不够多
你们好莱坞不是很woke吗??那为什么不让我们演坏人 演坏人也有钱赚阿
也有曝光度阿 我们可以干掉白人演员演坏人 求之不得阿
．他认为大老板怕到不敢找有色人种演坏人 认为这样会被出征
所以他认为现在好莱坞很woke但是不够woke
．然后提到赛巴斯汀史坦 因为演反派演到风生水起
所以他也想尝尝演反派演到红的滋味
(I'm paraphrasing但是他的意思就是如此)
．然后谈到真正的目的：替他的Hulu戏打广告 他在戏里面演一个反派
他之所以可以演反派 是因为现实中这个人物就是南亚人
所以他继续bitching moaning complaining如果现实中他不是南亚人
他就拿不到这个角色了
．更多的宣传(你各位常常问电影跟电视剧的宣传费怎么每次都这么高 跟烧钱一样)
你现在看到的，闻到的，就是钱在烧的味道
===========================================================================
好莱坞 永远不会令人失望
当你觉得他们好像终于有点贴近大众的 有点sense的时候
里面长得特别端正，特别好莱坞的细胞组织就会跑出来跟你说:No no no no no
我们基本上还是活在加州中部的梦幻彩虹泡泡里面，你们误会了
Gotcha~~~
