How did John David Washington get this role?

Besides being Denzel Washington's son. He doesn't have any star quality at all.

Daddy Denzel spoke with Nolan and reminded him of his white supremacy.

Unlikely. Denzel is a sane, decent, anti-woke Christian. He even berates a black kid for ‘blaming white people’ in Equalizer 2.

I’ve got nothing against John David Washington, but he doesn’t have a fraction of the on-screen charisma of his dad.

I loved the concept; I hated his casting.

Also, as much as I love Debicki, she was complete fodder in this film and entirely unnecessary to the broader plot points.

Very boring but very handsome child of famous actor.
