I'm not very familiar with the series, but that already happened with
The Hunger Games. It wasn't just black people who were upset either. It also happened with Goku from the
Dragon Ball series and Aang from the
Avatar series. This type of thing (which is called whitewashing or racebending) happens a lot with Asian material (and yes, I know the creators of
Avatar are white). There was also a huge casting controversy surrounding the film
21. I find the whole thing very interesting and it ultimately comes down to what'll get the most people into theaters.
