I never had any intention on seeing this movie nor had I heard of it before they gave this statement. This movie will most certainly fail but shockingly, it\’s tone deaf casting will be the least of its problems. I\’ve learned to choose my battles. At this point, there\’s no point in getting irate. How do you send a message to Hollywood? Money talks.

I hope they\’re all Donald Trump fake accounts

What\’s his name?! I\’m sure he\’ll draw in the crowds <—that was sarcasm. Thank You!

Who aren\’t necessarily of any given race. In fact, they\’re supposed to have animal heads : ).

As an American, I take offense to this.

What is wrong with this world? It was bad enough that Exodus got this same heat, but if you\’ve seen the trailer for Gods, I think you would agree the "diversity" of its casting is the least of its problems. Do we really expect Hollywood to cast the exact race of the people they are portraying? That\’s why it\’s called acting! Guys play girls, Englishmen play Yankees. I personally just want to see an actor I like, not a no name for the sake of being realistic.
