Who cares. Every actress wants to be Cleopatra. I would love to be Cleopatra too. Can't wait to watch it. U people just jealous that U ain't Cleopatra or Ancient History Legends as Julius Caesar, Nero, Alexander, Leonidas, Moses, Noah & etc😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@plaza5292 why because she's not Egyptian...well I think it will be good since the tables are turned. Israelites were slaves to Egyptians. Middle East can get mad all they want but she is the prettiest actress for the role who has a close enough look to Cleopatra. She has the sex appeal and complexion. They need to stop being racist over who her ancestors are which by the way is Polish, Austrian, Czech, and German. If you want to be exact to Cleopatra she was a Macedonian who we don't have any actress close to the genealogy so the best we got European wise is her unless you find a lost Macedonian princess. Cleopatra was not black or white like Elizabeth Taylor. So if Middle East wants true to character Gal Gadot has the qualifications.
@tina7heart how does Trump and being a republican have anything to do with the topic of Gal Gadot being Cleopatra? If you read the conversation it was about whether she was a better person to play and I said based on history Cleopatra was Macedonian/Greek/Iran/Persian and Gal Gadot would be a good take on Cleopatra because she's a hot actress and close with her skin tone. However if we want to be as close with an Iranian actress which would be close to Cleopatra, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Nazanin Boniadi would be the pretties one. But see sometimes looking at the heritage when casting a role can be good but Elizabeth Taylor was no where close to skin tone or ancestral descent close to Cleopatra but she was the hottest actress of her time. How about before you speak you think what comes out of your mouth. Sometimes Liberals and Democrats have no brains. I'm in school learning History so think what your saying before you jump and say anything about Republicans or Trump. I'm an Independent. So shows again where your intelligence is when you just throw Trump comments out. Atleast if we want to go in that topic Trump didn't bow down to China Communist Party like the President who by the way is doing a crappy job as President. Do you like the Inflation because if I remember correctly Trump had prices low. Low Border issues. 🙄 So since you brought it up what's your dislike for Trump?
No one will make me forget the Cleopatra of Leonor Varela and i'm not telling this because she's chilean like me, is just was an iconic and epic interpretation.
am from the Balkan Peninsula. Gal Gadot looks like Macedonian and Greek. Cleopatra is a descendant of Alexander the Great, meaning Macedonian. Gal Gadot definitely deserves the role of such a great ruler! This with an African who made some illiterate netflix is absurd and a great insult to Egypt!
Where is Elizabeth Taylor when you need her. She was the 1963 version of Cleopatra, and, although gorgeous, got the part because she was big box-office. Her features were classically beautiful and she had violet blue eyes. History says the real Cleo was not a beauty but Gal looks lovely.
@@Billy-jn6te she was still direct descendent of the greek general Ptolomeu, one of Alexander's generalls that seized Egypt when Alexander died. She probably had the skin color in a tone more like tge skin color of today's egyptian people, in other words: she was NOT black. Nothing against black people, skin color does not matter, but she was NOT black as some people keeps saying after a streaming series blackwashed her.
I love gal she’s beautiful long tall and very good actor but i think cleopatra role fits Megan Fox like those eyes the character the attraction everything i think. They should reconsider the role and include gal and zendaya but as cleopatra megan will kill it
I have a simple solution. Candice Swanepoel was born in South Africa, so make her the next Cleopatra, and now she's played by an African actress. Now that I would pay to see.
OMG! Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra. Nobody questioned her whiteness. We had an African American Ariel in the Little Mermaid, I don't understand why we can't have an Israeli Cleopatra. Tabloid minded publishers will always go for the black dot in the room, Geez
It's hard to make complaints about what race the performer playing Cleopatra should be, when as of today they are not completely sure of Cleopatra 's mother's ancestry. #2 - How hard is it to find a narrator who can properly pronounce English language?
Cleopatra was highly intelligent- Gal will be amazing in that role. She wasn’t beautiful and Gal is! Looks like an all star cast, I will definitely see this. White wash or not - it’s a freaking movie not a documentary! JPSmith made a doc, she black washed hers and the Egyptian’s went legal with a lawsuit. This is a movie, it’s called entertainment.
Cleopatra is NOT an Egyptian name, it is Macedonian/ Greek. Cleopatra looks more like Maria Callas (just enlarge the nose a little bit more) than Gal Gadot, who has no nose bridge to speak of. Other appropriate candidates are Mayim Bialik and Ruth Buzzi.
She is white Greek Macedonian that’s why it’s called the Hellenistic age becauce it’s the Greek name of the Era. History is made history has being recorded period. Hollywood wasn’t there or any outsiders like today to tell you who where she used to from there is actually real books written about her. Ask the Egyptians visit Alexandria and you will see in Greek and Egyptian writing welcome to Alexandria the home of Alexander !!!
Every people who talks about whitewashing are showing a great ignorancy about history because the Cleopatra belongs to Ptolomean Dinasty that is from Macedonia in Europe. Ptolomeans married between brother and sisters this shows that Cleopatra was white.
because Gal looks much more like a west -baby -face instead of an ancient Macedonian Greek origin queen. And in a lot of scenes Gal looks like the smaller sister of Liz Taylor, so alike when in costume and make up. Too similar. I am not talking about color of skin Im talking about historical facts and facial traits. I hope soon Egypt and Greece will make a co production with the right choice of female for the Cleopatra role.
@chaselee86 hahaha Israeli aren't from the Middle East. They have just stolen palestinian land. Gal Gadot real name is Greenstein and she's from Polish Austrian descent!
Pure ignorance!!!! As per usual from the Victim Mindset band wagon. Lazy "Whistle-blowing". She has MODERN Egyptian heritage some way or another actually BEING a Middle Eastern woman. Jews and Egyptians have a STRONG legitimate history T.O.G.E.T.H.E.R. Do you tell a Canadian they aren't North American?! Casting her IS politically correct!
it's fine that you have an accent but at least learn how to pronounce the proper names correctly. "Exodus," "Cleopatra," etc. even Gal's last name is mangled. the next time you record a voiceover, sit down with a native English speaker first and make sure you're not butchering the names. the pronunciation doesn't have to be perfect but it shouldn't make the listener cringe. mispronouncing the subject's name is a no-no.
Gal have everything to fit Cleopatra!!❤
She have literally nothing neither money that bought her the role since she casted herself and not by any director
Who cares. Every actress wants to be Cleopatra. I would love to be Cleopatra too. Can't wait to watch it. U people just jealous that U ain't Cleopatra or Ancient History Legends as Julius Caesar, Nero, Alexander, Leonidas, Moses, Noah & etc😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Let her play it!!! She perfect for this Role !!!
Why are they so mad it’s stupid!! For goodness sake Elizabeth Taylor played cleopatra years ago 😏
Exxactly that's exactly what I just posted, nobody questioned her whiteness. what is wrong with people!
That was before people cared about stupid things like this.
Can't wait to see this, so exited.
They need to let Gal Gadot play this. It's better than the Netflix adaption of Cleopatra.

There's no business like show business. Go Gal!
Cleopatra WAS GREEK!
Espero que salga pronto ya quiero ver a Gal Gadot como Cleopatra ❤ saludos desde Argentina

WOW! Quite the cast! I am so looking forward
Just like how Arnold was Conan, Gal is Cleopatra.
Cant Wait to see this movie ❤i love gal
Gal is awesome and I can't wait to see it :)
LOVE IT SHES PERFECT
I would love watch Gal Gadot in any movie. she is the best and beautifull. people jelaous of it , but a lots of people love her

They can use a greek or an Egyptian actress end of discussion
Yeah because Jada Pinkett Smith is so much closer to the real Cleopatra than a woman who was born in Israel.
Being born in Israel doesn't mean anything 😂 her parents ate Europeans
Goddess Holy Angel Cleopatra Gal Gadot Cleopatra Egypt 💋

Cleópatra was GREEK!!! She was white!!!🤔🤨
She wasn’t Greek she was Egyptian with Macedonian roots.
@@Billy-jn6te she was greek descendent, and that means that she did not had dark skin.( nothing against people with dark skin!)
@@andredfreitas6909 She was Macedonian google it ffs 🤦♂️ www.google.com.au/search?q=cleopatra+nationality&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-au&client=safari
@@andredfreitas6909 She was a Macedonian/Egyptian she might of had a little bit of Greek in her somewhere down the line but very minimal

but Gal Gadot is Tanned Mediterranean type 😮 just like Cleopatra 😮
Aishwarya Rai would have been perfect for this role
lol
I love gal she’s beautiful long tall and very good actor but i think cleopatra role fits Megan Fox like those eyes the character the attraction everything i think. They should reconsider the role and include gal and zendaya but as cleopatra megan will kill it
A gal gado ficou linda como cleopatra❤
While they have black Santa Claus all over their homes during the holiday's 😂😂 crying about this.
You see this in commercials. More coulered people and less white . So why they still moan about ?
Angelina jolie is the perfect actress to play cleopatra! She has a very strong attitude!
I have a simple solution. Candice Swanepoel was born in South Africa, so make her the next Cleopatra, and now she's played by an African actress. Now that I would pay to see.

she looks middle eastern greek so whats the issue

What do you know maybe in her past life Gal Gadot was Cleopatra. so why cant she play this role if she lived it ? just away of thinking wide
An Israeli who served in military and supported Gaza war now gonna play an Egyptian is a CHOSE
Wokeism to extreme. She passes fine for greek/macedonian. Elisabeth Taylor was fine also. Need to push back against woke.
She is white Greek Macedonian that’s why it’s called the Hellenistic age becauce it’s the Greek name of the Era. History is made history has being recorded period.

@@veraprokic4185Greeks look very white to me. What are you talking about?
Gal Gadot is Israeli, and she has a brown skin, how is she "white", or whiter than Macedonian Greek?
@@chaselee86 As if Macedonian Greeks weren’t white. Greeks and Egyptians look nothing alike.
@chaselee86 hahaha Israeli aren't from the Middle East. They have just stolen palestinian land. Gal Gadot real name is Greenstein and she's from Polish Austrian descent!
A Zionist playing cleopatra the biggest insult ever
Why couldnt they cast a Greek actress for a change.
Gal is not white!! she's middle eastern haha
Bakbitonda
Cleopatra is Albanian, Macedonia has always been Illyrian! 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Yeah okay lol

Cleoparta was Phoenician.
Greeks are so funny and mean nothing, FYI never did 😂😂😂😂 #challengeaccepted
What does that mean?

What would you prefer? A black woman?
Of cause not and don´t wait 4 an answer why, because it´s obviously that egypts are not black at all . Sun tanned, that´s it.
