Recasting the MCU with NO white actors.

Recast the MCU with actors and actresses of colour but DON'T cast actors of colour who have already appeared in the MCU (Idris Elba , Michael B. Jordan , Hailee Steinfeld , Laurence Fishburne etc) and people from Spain don't count as people of colour as they're white.
