Actually thinking about it, most of the diversity hires and genderswaps thus far have been thin, sometimes very thin. I can't actually think of a leading franchise role that was given to a fatty. Imagine 300 lb Rey. This might be one of the last reserves of self-awareness in Hollywood, that they all understand an obese character is unintentionally funny.
Lizzo got a bit part in The Mandalorian, but there's no way they're going to put her in a Mandalorian suit like that Mary Sue redhead whatsherface.
I feel like that’s because “combat roles” have been reserved for 100 pound wahman who are just as powerful as their 185-200 pound Greek Adonis counterparts.
