And what pray tell is an African accent lol? Is it an arab-influenced one of the Egyptians, or the English-Dutch hybrid of the Boers? Exactly what is an 'African' accent?

And if you've watched "Dirty Pretty Things" you'd know that Chiwetel can put on a FLAWLESS Nigerian (west african) accent.

And yes Chiwetel is British, with an African heritage. Are 2nd generation Asians no longer Asian because they were born in the U.S?

lol you are wrong on all counts. ignorance.

He's an African-Briton in the same sense that black people in the U.S. can be referred to as African-American. However "African," in and of itself is incorrect terminology afaik.

amazing....so what exactly would you describe his heritage as? i was born in America to Nigerian parents...and that is my heritage--African. lol are you going to sit there and tell me what I am??

I'm not telling you how he identifies himself, nor how you identify yourself, I'm just commenting on terminology.

You never specified "heritage" in your earlier post stating Chiwetel is "African" after srank commented on Djimon Hounsou being "African." He was born in Benin, ergo he is African. srank commented on his nationality. He further clarified he was referring to nationality when stating Chiwetel is British - which he is, being born in Britain. He is of African descent or heritage or whatever qualifier one chooses to use. He is an African-Briton. He technically is not African sans qualifier with regard to nationality.

black panther is even more uninteresting than ant man and namor, So i hope he doesnt get his own shitty movie

Chiwetel is British, yes. He is also an African. Is that simple enough?

Djimon being born in Benin has little to do with anything. Hugo Weaving was born in Nigeria--but he isn't Nigerian. Where you are from has to do with where your immediate ancestry is from, and the culture you've grown up with...yes, in those regards Chiwetel is very much British. But as I've said, he is also African. British by nationality, African by blood. Do you understand now? Terms like African-American/Asian-American are pretty damn stupid in my opinion; African-Briton even sounds dumber than the other two lol. It obscures the whole point of them being indicators of one's nationality. I see no reason why a black person born and bred in America should be called African-American, when they have no direct link to the continent. They are Americans, just as Chiwetel (as you pointed out) is British.

Hmm, guess I went off on a tangent there. Anyway, back to the topic 😄

If Hugo Weaving was born in Nigeria, then technically he is originally Nigerian. 😬

On topic, Ant-Man will probably be shit. Namor can work if done right, and considering he debuted ~30 years before Black Panther, I don't see why the latter character warrants a movie any more than the former.
