Cast as Annie Boleyn

This is so bizarre and ridiculous. It’s like casting a white actor as MLK Jr., which would never happen.

Is this the beginning of an agenda to rewrite history? For what purpose?

How ignorant and rude of Jodie Turner-Smith to accept the role.

This is actually one of the most absurd things I have ever seen and i'm on the left.

There would be a massive uproar if you tried to whitewash a fictional black character let alone a real historical figure.They would call it appropiating black culture.And yet this is acceptable.The double standard is mind boggling.

This is a new level of taking your audience for an idiot. Movies don't work this way, you can't unsee her appearance. All I see is a black woman in a courtly sixteenth century environment and that is totally impossible, takes me out of the story.

People who still claim this is just "colorblind casting" are simply liars.

One could choose to do a modern-day retelling, but obviously that's not what they want. They just want to rewrite history.
