If you think you need Hollywood casting decisions to reflect your own special little microcosm of existence, much less your version of historical accuracy, prepare to be woefully disappointed. LOL

That [BLEEP] is always going to be wacky, and many productions will 100% attempt to inject female empowerment and check all the boxes on racial inclusion.
(doesn't bother me a bit personally)


And yes, there are "versions" of accuracy on this Cleopatra skin tone thing. Lots of conflicting academic opinions about her background and blend of DNA from varied regions of Africa. It would appear we don't actually know exactly how Mediterranean or Sub-Saharan African her skin tone appeared. We only know that it was "different" than what Roman subjects expected Caeser to be paired with.

We do know that she didn't look like Elizabeth Taylor! LOL
