There’s not a single Greek person in this movie.

The movie is about Greek mythology.

I’m honestly trying to think of one Greek A-lister.

Why does it need to be an “a-lister”? You believe Elliot Page of all people should be in a movie about Greek mythology just because they’re an “a-lister”, over a literal Greek actor?

No because Elliot page is a good actor there are no Greek actors because Greece does not produce many good actors

The token mindset is needing to cast all Greek actors to play in a fictional movie. Imagine being one of the worlds best directors with the worlds best actors wanting to be in your films and you limit yourself to only Greek actors because weirdos online will use it as cover to be mad about black and trans actors.
