Just realized there's a "cast Giggling Little White Males as main characters" trend...
In the Star Wars reboot the main characters were ethnic minorities and women, while villains were white males, preferably red-hair or blond ones.
At the same time, there's a trend about making white males look psychotic and/or pathetic. You can notice that in Kylo Ren and General Hux, who are ridiculous when you compare them with Darth Vader or Moff Tarkin (this one: http://www.cnetfrance.fr/i/edit/2016/12/peter-cushing-star-wars.jpg ) in the original trilogy. Not to say, that's one of the reasons that makes the reboot sucks.
However, I just noticed a new trend: in case you don't "diversify" white male roles (making them ethnically diverse or women) then... cast little giggling beta white males to play supposedly tough and charismatic main characters, while at the same time surround him with alfa non-white males and tough females to make a difference. No need to say, that will make the movie suck, but who cares? It's not about making good movies anymore, it's all about political agenda.
You have here Ehrenreich. You're supposed to believe that he can be Han Solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifrbLSjRZE8
And this is Taron Egerton, the next Robin Hood. Yes, you're supposed to believe this guy can be the most charismatic and tough bandit in the British folklore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGjg--Tcwuw... while, at the same time, they're placing Jamie Foxx as Little John. This is the new level: it's not enough to cast a diversity Robin Hood group, the white guys must be little giggling girlie things.
And that not only happens in US movies. Dane Dehaan played Valerian in the most expensive french movie ever made. The original Valerian (in the comics) was a kind of Han Solo/James Bond character. This is the guy who played him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez64aN94vxg
