Exactly. The only Marvel hero that comes close is Daredevil... and his movie was botched. :(The_AIDude, who cares about the movie(which sucked, but the Director's cut was actually decent) when you look like this:
. Epic pl0x? Marvel vs DC Universe

I'm not racist, but I'm quite put off with Idris Elba being Heimdall. I'm a huge fan of the Asgardian Pantheon, and I basically revere them as far as comic books go... Heimdall, Tyr and Thor are my 3 favorite Asgardians. With Heimdall being portrayed by a black actor, it's quite offensive actually. NOT because he's black. A Hispanic, Chinese or even Pacific Islander would be the wrong choice for Heimdall. I find it disappointing how a movie about NORDIC gods have to be politically correct though.What does th3warr1or think of the new Thor movie coming out I wonder??

That being said, I've got VERY VERY high expectations for it, so i'll either love it, or be greatly let down. It all depends on how well Chris Hemsworth portrays the god of thunder, and how powerful he's gonna be portrayed in the movie(Wolverine in the movies is basically the most powerful character and stuff).
I really don't see how Heimdall looks black at all, or anything but white. At least I can understand the Asian casting for Hogun(who does look arguably Mongolian/Rus). The funniest part is that Heimdall in mythology is known as "white god" and "the whitest of gods". I think choosing Idris Elba simply because "he can act" is quite a poor excuse, since they wouldn't chose Peter O'Toole to play Thor or Sif simply because "he can act".

its all about good characterisation, I dont think being nordic is the essence of who thor and buddies are.
