On top of blackwashing it's a massive age change in the character as the 2001 UK adaptation 'Mean Machine' had the character of 'Caretaker' known as 'Doc' played by David Kelly [who is probably better known by younger audiences as Grandpa Joe from the Depp remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0446303/
Steadman was 65. David Kelly was 72. Chris Rock was only 40. Sure "black don't crack" but both Steadman and Kelly were very visibly old men which was the point of the character in the movies.
Side note: The 2005 remake did in general have some very out there casting picks with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldberg, and Kevin Nash from WWF/WWE/WCW fame. Also included Nelly, Terry Crews, Tracy Morgan, Robb Schneider [because of course when Adam Sandler is the lead], and Courteney Cox.
Finally sorted the issue that forbade me from having it... Turns out, crypto addresses were a no no haha
Anyway, much easier to update. Less headaches to me, and I can keep the count automatic as to how many creatively bankrupt characters hollywood decided to poop out!
Given you have a few comments on some of the changes I'd strongly recommend you include the casting of Domino in Deadpool 2 directly resulted in a dead stuntwoman. Not intended as gravedancing just one of the most severe tangible consequences of wokewashing.
Pinging u/RealDrJester for a wokewashing update if it's not already there.
