The same thing they always think. That anything that appeals to straight men is bad, so they'll do everything they can to remove anything they'd find sexy, up to and including replacing a young midriff-baring, cleavage-presenting starlet with an old woman who slammed into the wall ages ago.
I think there's maybe also an element of the project being so low prestige and the pitch probably being obviously garbage that anyone with pre-wall big name market value wouldn't touch it with a 10-ten foot poll. They either had to between choose a hot nobody or a well known hag.
This pattern has been repeating countlessly to the extent that I find it hard to believe they had a tough time deciding on an old hag versus a hot nobody.
They call it their war against the "heteronormative"
