I used to joke that I’m against all race swapping but will give a pass to Denzel since he is one of my favorite actors. I’m so sick of race/gender swapping at this point that him being one of my favorites won’t make me watch it. When Equalizer came out I was aware of the old show but that was before everything was a race or gender swap. Honestly I’d say have Denzel play Mansa Musa. I’d love an in depth mini series about his empire as well as his practice of slavery and land conquest. Would be nice to see an exploration of the cruelty/brutality of non-western slavery. Maybe could open up some eyes as well. Maybe
Kaleb of Aksum would be a better choice, unfortunately the accomplishment which made him the most based black man to ever live is also the reason why Hollywood won't touch his story with a 40 ft pole.
