Film Poster Edit to Satirize Hollywood's Trend of Casting Actors of Different Races for Iconic Characters, Still a Debate

Since Disney announced Halle Bailey as the actress playing Ariel in the live-action LITTLE MERMAID, many have been against it because they believe she looks very different from the Ariel character that many people have known for so long. After that, other characters also chose actors or actresses of different races than the familiar versions among fans.

Although many agree, there are also many who see this new tradition by Hollywood, especially Disney and Netflix, as something that does not fit with 'history.' That's why there are many satirical edited posters circulating on the internet. Here are some of them!

<nil>

Halle Bailey as Ariel. Until now, there are still pros and cons regarding the selection of Hailey as the actress for Ariel. This beautiful-voiced girl is considered different from the character of Ariel that has been ingrained in society.

<nil>

Next, there's the character of Tinkerbell played by Yara Shahidi in the live-action PETER PAN & WENDY. Many say there are other black-skinned fairy characters, but why make Tinkerbell like this?

<nil>

The latest controversy is the actress who plays Queen Charlotte in the series BRIDGERTON. Young Queen Charlotte is played by India Ria Amarteifio, who is black-skinned. However, the real Queen Charlotte is not black-skinned.

<nil>

Therefore, a series of Netflix movie posters were made to criticize this new Hollywood trend. For example, if there's a series about polar bears, Netflix might film it with black bears instead (note: polar bears are white in color).

<nil>

Zelenski is a former actor and comedian who is now the president of Ukraine. A netizen thinks that if Zelenski's story is adapted by Netflix, the actor who plays him should be black British actor Idris Elba.

<nil>

The same thing could happen if former US President Barack Obama's story is filmed. The actor who plays him could be white Oscar-nominated actor Christian Bale.

<nil>

Martin Luther King, an anti-racism activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, was black. In this satirical poster, the character could be played by white actor Ryan Gosling.

<nil>

This is Elon Musk, purposely edited to be black. Once again, this is just for fun.

<nil>

The same thing happened to Adolf Hitler, the dictator famous for his mustache. He wasn't actually black, it was just edited.

<nil>

Queen Elizabeth II, whom we have known all this time, is not black. But this poster sarcastically suggests that if a film were made, the queen would be played by a black actress.

<nil>

Madonna is a senior singer with a number of famous hits worldwide. This poster, however, features former basketball player Dennis Rodman in a wedding dress.

<nil>

Muhammad Ali is a black-skinned world boxing legend. Do you agree that if he were filmed, the actor playing him should be Mark Wahlberg, who is white-skinned?

<nil>

Snow White, whom we know to be white-skinned. The same goes for her mini-sized dwarfs. This poster sarcastically suggests that Disney could have made a version of the dwarfs that is black-skinned and tall like this.

<nil>

Another version of a satire poster if Barack Obama were filmed. This time there is Ryan Gosling with his white suit.

<nil>

Nelson Mandela is a legendary figure who opposed apartheid and the former first president of South Africa. Do many agree if his character is played by Anthony Hopkins instead?

<nil>

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is a white-skinned person. In this poster, he is intentionally made black-skinned which once again makes fun of Netflix.

<nil>

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are a white and black couple from the British royal family. What if they were played by Kajol and her husband, Ajay Devgan?

<nil>

Here's Ryan Gosling again as an example. This time he is made to play Tupac Shakur, the legendary rapper. Do you agree if Tupac is portrayed as white-skinned like this?
