Rebecca Front and Corey Johnson joined the cast of Batgirl, with Leslie Grace starring in the show, and she's going to play Barbara Gordon. Because Grace is of African descent and has little experience in Hollywood, many have questioned why DC Studios chose Grace — Warner didn't select actors based on the requirements of the work, and the studio wanted to cater to Hollywood's "diversity code." In an online interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Za supported Grace. Zach Schneider thinks there's nothing wrong with DC Studios using new actors, and Grace's skin tone shouldn't be the subject of discussion among viewers. Director Za has always been able to stand firm in terms of equal rights, before the "Little Mermaid" starring cast, Za director also supported African actresses, Disney in accordance with strict standards to choose the starring role, the film industry did not cater to the requirements of diversification.
Boris Kitt is the editor of The Hollywood Reporter, a well-known film critic who hosts za's talk show. In response to the "Batgirl" series, Kit advised "Batgirl" not to use "diversification" tricks, and he also hoped that Adil's works would not reduce the quality of the film in the name of equality. "Batgirl" can represent the process of "diversity" in terms of the gender and skin color of superheroes. Hollywood heroines are not uncommon, "Wonder Woman" and "Joker Woman" are DC's representative heroines. However, many equal rights people believe that there are not enough female characters in dc or Marvel, the style and positioning of these heroes are relatively single, and they have not reached the goal of diversification, they just adopted the trick of "diversification" to win the favor of more audiences, in essence, these publicity means have not improved the work.
Kite had a hunch that Warner Media would use "diversified" tricks to promote "Batgirl", a newcomer actress from African descent, although everyone was not very clear about her acting skills, after all, Grace's previous masterpiece was only "Living in the Upper Town", which is still a song and dance film, not a hollywood movie. This situation is reminiscent of when the second season of "Batwoman" was still in the promotional period, and CW TV focused on the two generations of Batwoman's starring roles - why did Javicia Leslie replace Ruby Rose? There is a saying that Ruby Rose herself did not want to star in the second season of the series, after all, she did quite well in the first season, and she was the guarantee of Batwoman's ratings. However, there is also a claim that Ruby Rose is a "passive resignation", and after the Floyd incident, many people advised the films to use African-American or Latino actors.
The second season of "Batgirl" not only did not gain favor because of the "diversified" tricks, but because the fans were more divided, the ratings of this series went downhill, and Javisia did not become popular with this work, which is the same for "Batgirl". And Kit spoke about the fact that from the original comic, Barbara Gordon's character was supposed to be a white girl when she debuted in Superman Family and Detective Comics, and DC Studios had some "forced diversity" feel. Kit felt that this situation was very much related to "The Little Mermaid", and the mermaid character in the original cartoon was obviously a white princess, who became a mixed-race girl in the live-action version of the movie, and it was obvious that this creative pattern was a bit off the essence.
Therefore, Kit advised "Batgirl" not to use "diversification" tricks, the actors have been selected to have no way to change, so Warner Media in the promotion of the time to try to let everyone pay attention to the quality of the film, rather than the pedigree of the lead actor. In this regard, Kit admires the practice of the Marvel working group, and the film and television department of the MCU will not change the character setting of the comic, after all, this is a comic book movie or film and television drama, and they specially created "Black Panther" to expand the diversified creative thinking. Although Kit doesn't quite agree with Batgirl's diverse moves, Za approves of DC Studios' moves, and when Batgirl's live-action style is not public, Zach Schneider advises fans to give actors more respect, rather than questioning Grace's qualification to star in the superhero series.
The main reason why Za director supported Grace is that cosmic cinema needs new people, especially in the special period of Hollywood, mesozoic actors refuse to reduce their own value, and it is difficult for directors to choose actors. The demands for newcomer actors are not so high, and the theater closure period is just the superhero series to be updated. After all, Za director is a senior director, and he looks at Grace's appearance in "Batgirl" from the perspective of Hollywood's benign development, rather than evaluating this matter from the perspective of actor identity. Za dao also said that his new film "Month of Resistance" also used a wave of young actors, and it is normal for him to support the new generation of artists.
