I would LMAO at the reactions of hypocritical the woke fools if a remake of the Jackie Robinson Story were done with, say Brad Pitt in the leading role. Or a remake of Lady Sings the Blues with Taylor not so Swift as Billie Holliday 🤔😃🤡🤡

Sounds like culture appropriation to me.
Or does that only work one way?

Both are a little long in the tooth for the roles.

It’s as much a publicity stunt as it is DEI.
No such thing as bad publicity, as the saying goes.

The classics are old enough and specialized enough that we should let race go, I think.
But that means any race can play Othello in play or opera, the same for Turandot, Aida, Madame Butterfly, any creed can play Shylock. The Greek tragedies are open.
That said, this black actress is miscast for Juliet, I think. The role requires a physical delicacy that she does not have.

They are already predicting a box office failure and want to explain it away, as opposed to the real reasons.

“No Jeb, I wanna continue my Shakespearean studies”
Later on:
“Whut tha?? Is that a N playin’ Juliet?? By gum, git tha hoods! We gonna burn some crosses!!”
