Amid recent casting news for the newest film adaptation of Spider-Man, Stan Lee has come forward to reaffirm that he’d like his Marvel characters to stay exactly as they are. Though that’s not to say that he’s necessarily opposed to diverse representation — just not in his own creations. He explained,
“I have no problem with having a black one, a Latino one, a Chinese one, anything — the whole world is our playground. “I’m just not too happy changing what has already been established.”
