after the movie proves to be a box office disappointment.
Emma Stone as an Eurasian woman?
Hollywood whitewashed Prince of Persia. It flopped.

Hollywood whitewashed The Last Airbender. It flopped.
Hollywood whitewashed Cloud Atlas. It flopped.
Hollywood whitewashed Exdous: Gods of Egypt . It flopped.
