From our buddy DinoCon:
This is a trend I've noticed a lot in Hollywood; old, white, veteran actors passing on their legacy to a bunch of immigrants, blacks, or whatever. I call it "Training Your Replacement" movies.
Here's a list of movies I can think of that do this:
"Creed" - Rocky Balboa trains that son of Apollo Creed now that he's too old.
"Rambo: Last Blood" - Rambo risks his life to protect Mexicans from cartels, literally "riding off into the sunset"at the end.
"Logan" - Wolverine sacrifices his life to save a mutant Burger King Kids Club
"Gran Torino" - Clint Eastwood sacrifices his life to save some Asian kid.
"Cry Macho" - Clint Eastwood will likely sacrifice his life to save some Mexican kid.
"Tommorowland" - George Clooney needs to risk everything so that the Burger King Kids Club can save the world.
"The Midnight Sky" - George Clooney must risk everything so that a single interracial couple can repopulate a whole planet all by themselves.
"Terminator: Dark Fate" - Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger must risk everything to save a Hispanic girl who's ACKSHUALLY going to save the world, not John Conner.
"Knives Out" - Christopher Plummer sacrifices himself to make sure Hispanic maid gets all of his inheritance.
"James Bond: Too Late To Die" - Daniel Craig hands over his position as 007 to a black woman.
There was a recently about an old white cook who had to train his young black replacement, but I can't remember the name.
It would appear that every last white star left in Hollywood will have to spend the remainder of their careers passing batons to "the next generation", which almost always means non-whites
(I'd also add Children of Men, Clive Owen risks everything to save the only pregnant woman in the world, a black woman)
