Exactly. If the movie's good and the actors are good, the leads don't matter. If nothing else, you can probably get a better actor for 10% of the price by hiring a Bollywood star. Save some money and roll the dice on some Indian/Middle-Eastern talent. If people were only going to see this because Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie were the two leads, the movie was a piece of shit anyway.
Edit: Reminder that The Little Mermaid, the movie that basically resurrected Disney's animation studios, had no "big name stars" in it, it was virtually all in-house Disney voice acting talent. So clearly a Disney movie can do fine without big names attached.
And even Beauty and the Beast and Alladin only had one or two big name guest stars, who did not voice main characters (I guess you could argue Genie is a main character idk). It wasn't until The Lion King where every role was some sort of famous celebrity.

Bret Hart as the genie:
Here on Kiwi Farms if SJWs say the grass is green you have to say it's blue. SJWs say this should have middle eastern actors, so you have to want white actors.
A rare but beautiful Chinese Uyghur actress, Dilraba Dilmurat, is a favorite of mine. But it doesn't matter since they'll probably cast african americans for the roles and turn the movie into desert version of the Annie remake.
I see a lot of sperging but little salt here. Time to fix that.

SJW's are dumb enough to not care who gets cast as long as they are not white. If south Asians are in it they'd be happy despite them not being Arab. To them all people from Muslim countries are "middle eastern".

Kim wasn't a too bad Jasmine. But,she'd need a whole CGI team for the acting part. Didn't stop Disney from casting Daisy Ridley though so maybes she in
I kinda disagree. SJWs will never be happy. If they cast some Arab actors it'll be the wrong ones. They'll be from the wrong country. They'll find some questionable thing one of them said 5 years ago and go to town on it. They'll be too stereotypical or not stereotypical enough. Too white looking or too much of a fetishization of the exotic.
It'll be fun.

Someone should really point out the fact that a white person screeching about "muh PoC actors and racism" is the last thing a PoC needs. They have voices; let them use them. You aren't punching up if you have to stand on the shoulders of the people you trying to be an ally to.
Fucking hell, I hate identity politics.

Amy Schumer should play Jasmine.
Well, people are going to scream no matter who they cast, so I'm looking forward to whenever the announcement is made.

I forgot about the turds that kicked it off.
For Disney, the best thing must be that since these movies abuse CG so much, they can justifiably remake the films again in 15 years.

Definitely will be nice to look at taking in a matinee with the nieces and nephews. Dem hips

They're too white for some of Neogaf's brightest.

I swear someone could just program a bot that blurts out their complaints they are so predictable.
I'd say that they should judge actors and actresses by the quality of their acting ability and not their skin color, but I think they've been way beyond hope for years, so that would just be trying to piss in the wind.
