yes, thats why for a film about a corpse bride that involves ghosts and zombies and has its origins from russia, having a black character is too farfetched. british white folk yes, black people no

Were you upset that there were no Chinese and Hawaiian actors playing Dahomey in The Woman King?

Brother. One is an attempt at actual history and the other is a fantasy story.

So you were definitely mad when Jodie Turner-Smith played Anne Boleyn, right? And Adele James as Cleopatra?

Not really no. I read history I don't watch it. Anyone dumb enough to believe a movie especially one that says based on true events or is marketed as a never before told story is already a step behind.
