Robert Underhill - The other day there was a post about MCU having Galactus in the next phase or when after the new Fantastic Four movie arrives, someone commented with a suggestion that MCU's Galactus should be a female character, supposedly to line up with the new phase with Marvel female superheroes agenda, I was angry at that suggestion. 
I believe Galactus, whatever the version MCU/Disney may produce, should remain and always as the male being. 
Here's why: Galactus was very much a creation of Jack Kirby. He also created the herald Silver Surfer. Stan Lee approved them and wrote them for the FF #48 The Coming of Galactus. 
In my opinion, should MCU/Disney produces a cinematic version of Galactus, at least they should put in digitally a part of Jack Kirby's face - the area around his nose, mouth, cheeks and chin - into Galactus, as a nice homage to Jack Kirby.
In 1983, I bought this special Marvel edition about the origin of Galactus and I loved that story, as I understand was a reprint of an earlier origin story from Marvel's Thor #169 (and retconned and added with new artwork by John Byrne and Ron Wilson).
Why I believe Jack Kirby's face should be in the cinematic version of Galactus. Well, Michael Golden did a nice rendering of Jack Kirby as Galactus a few years back, with a cigar. Lol (of course, Galactus won't have a cigar in the MCU phase). In another image, the close-up face of Kirby's rendering of Galactus made me suspected that Kirby drew in part of his own face on the Big G.Kevin Feige, are you reading this?
Don G. Heick - All this gender and race swapping is lazy and wrong.
Muhammad Rasheed - It's just strategy to get around antitrust violations, pretending to be market inclusive by painting white characters (who are owned by white companies) brown and even filling monopolies full of "faux-diversity" hires with the dubious Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) programs. Functionally, it continues to lock Black Americans(ADOS) out of the ownership side of industry while pretending to be progressive. It's why affirmative action itself was a failed program, because it was just more anti-Black racism pretending to be otherwise.
