There's an idea for a new production.
I smell an oscar already.

That guy from Rogue One, Roger Whittaker

Given how changes in race, gender and sexuality occur in both fictional characters and historical figures in Hollywood movies these days, I would honestly cheer this on if it happened. It would rile up the white supremacists and Neo-Nazis something rotten.

also, it would bring to the fore front the insanity of ALL the "Washing" claims.
I'd rather directors and writers focus on improving STORIES, not checking boxes.

What about an Asian, Jackie Chan perhaps.

Asians all have straight black hair, nothing that new.
But if it's Jackie Chan pulling off some crazy moves, I'm all for it.
