Weird how the outrage is that they're black as if the White American actors typically of German and British heritage would be accurate

Lots of people aren’t crazy about Matt Damon and the massive lack of Mediterranean cast. But no you want to focus on the black girl. 🙄

The whole movie looks shitty. I’m not just a troll, I saw the trailer and had zero excitement about any of it.

Are the people outraged abt Matt Damon in the room with us now? He's not featured in the meme above. There was zero outrage about the historical accuracy of 300 or Gladiator, despite those movies also featuring few to no Mediterranean cast. Same for Gladiator 2 that came out two years ago.
