Aren't there a bazillion adaptions that only have white English actors already. And of course they didn't care when non-Mediterraneans whites were given roles to play people from the Mediterranean. Like where was the outrage when fucking Gerald Butler played Leonidas with a Scottish accent.

    "Who are you getting to play a Greek guy from a small island spitting distance from Egypt?"

    "After reviewing the candidates, we settled on the most stereotypical Boston Irishman under 60"

    I guess they didn't go with a Skarsgård, which shows some restraint.
