I've seen them do this type of stuff before. Like with the movie the aeronauts where they replaced a man with a woman.
I'm going to make a movie about African tribal warfare in the 5th century. I'm in talks with Cruise and Pitt for the lead roles.
Whitey doesn't get triggered over something like that. BUT, if a white man played MLK in a movie, that would trigger BLM into destroying over 39 cities.
UK was talking about making history series about black Lancelot. EDIT : hears UK accent in trailer. I see.
I have a better idea. Make a movie with a black Hitler. They want more black representation? Then for every white hero they replace, also replace a white villain.
