Whitewashing is the practice of white performers portraying non-white characters or hiding their background in the media.
Originating from the fictional Eastern European nation of Latveria, Victor Von Doom was initially seen in the 1962 issue of “Fantastic Four.”
An important part of the supervillain’s past is that he was born into a tribe of Latverian Romani people.
Marvel Studios would have made significant strides in casting if they had taken into account the underrepresentation of Romani culture in movies.
Disappointed with the announcement, many are posting on Reddit about actors they think would be ideal for the part, like Danny Wynter and Saša Barbul.
