Why can't Americans play their own superheroes in movies? Why must British actors come in to do their work?
Pic related, three of America's most popular superheroes, all Americans in their canon, in their most recent films... all played by Brits.

Actually I live in Haverfordwest, where Christian bale was born.
We are all English here and are descended from English people due to the Welsh language being banned in this area, later leading to a huge amount of English migrants to the area. I don't know anyone who speaks Welsh here.

Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief;
Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef;
I went to Taffy's house, Taffy wasn't in;
I jumped upon his Sunday hat and poked it with a pin.
Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a sham;
Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of lamb;
I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was away,
I stuffed his socks with sawdust and filled his shoes with clay.
Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a cheat,
Taffy came to my house, and stole a piece of meat;
I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was not there,
I hung his coat and trousers to roast before a fire
