As you may recall, last week Tambay reported on the casting controversy regarding Lionsgate’s upcoming would-be epic (and obvious cross-your-fingers tentpole franchise) "The Gods of Egypt" (here).
However, with the exception of Chadwick Boseman (who, in his "don’t blink or you’ll miss him" appearance in the trailer, looks totally embarrassed, as well he should be) playing the role of Thoth The God of Wisdom, there are no other actors of color in the film. There are however a Scot bland slab of meat better known as Gerard Butler, as well as a couple of Brits, a few Aussies and a Dane, all playing Egyptians .
Not a good look.
In fact, it’s so bad a look that, thanks…
