This looks good. I just hope they don't take it in some climate change BS direction.

Bit of cultural appropriation going on there. I'm pretty sure Sir Gawain was Welsh in the legends, not a Gujarati Indian Hindu born to Kenyan parents.

Still, diversity is good, right?

I will definitely give it a look.

A man of Indian descent playing a Knight of the Round Table doesn't really bother me. As long as the character is true to the story and they don't make race a plot point everything is good in my book.

That's why we are better than 'them'. Imagine the opposite, a Welsh actor playing a Hindu legendary warrior.

Film sounds good anyway.

Does a white dude playing Gengis Khan count as better than them?

Are you claiming Hollywood no longer practices whitewashing? Because you don't have to go back to the 1950s to find examples such as John Wayne playing Ghengis Khan or Burt Lancaster as an Apache warrior.

In recent years, Jake Gyllenhaal who is a White Jew got cast as the Prince of Persia, and in The Last Airbender, all the East Indian and Inuit child characters got cast by White kids.
