Somewhere between Black and Arab. Retarded idea, Arabs invaded 700 years after Cleopatra and there are very few ethnic Egyptians left anyway if you wanted Egyptians in the movie.
On top of that Cleopatra was Macedonian. So I guess you could get a Greek to play the roll but lets be honest she can pass as a Macedonian/Greek.
The Egyptians currently in the area are mostly ethnically Egyptian, actually. There was very little population replacement from the Arab conquest. The Copts are still in the area as well, speaking a descendent of the original Egyptian language.

That’s what I thought. Not sure why there is an uproar. I hope the studios ignore them.
