Your argument is invalid. This is because all along in the comics he was white, as befits a Norse deity. They could but have not even explained Heimdal/Heimdall/Heimdallur's change of ethnicity as a possible trick of Loki, they just don't talk about it. Idris only got the role because the director, Kenneth Branagh, most likely did not check the comics, like a real fan would have, before calling him up. Plus Heimdal/Heimdall/Heimdallur is Sif's brother in the Marvel world and she is portayed by a white female actress, Jaimie Alexander. Only since the Thor movie with Mr Hemsworth has Heimdal/Heimdall/Heimdallur been black. Thor should have red hair, speak in a real Scandinavian accent to his English speech, have a real beard and have a goat chariot but Marvel wanted to be unique in their portrayal of him, and then made the Asgardians speak with British accents. I do not like how Marvel made Asgardians have British accents. Britain might get cold but it is not a Scandinavian country. I would prefer if they hired Scandinavian actors/actresses to portray them in the cinematic universe, and Scandinavian voice actors/actresses to voice them in the animated shows. Especially seeing as the origin listing in the character entries on this wiki for each Asgardian says - (insert Asgardian's name here) is a member of the Asgardians, god to the people of Ancient Germany and Scandinavia - except for the Warriors Three, who are wholly a Marvel creation.
