I can't wait to see who they cast as Hannibal! pic.twitter.com/enjjCZj74g

Although Denzel Washington is one of the greatest actors of all time, I think this is a bad casting choice. Netflix is going to get ridiculed.

A much better choice would have been Jackie Chan.
I love Denzel, one of the last actors worth respecting. That being said, Hannibal was not a black man.

Hannibal was white though....🤔

Pretty sure Hannibal was not black, rather North African, which means dark skinned but not black.

I love Denzel Washington and would love to see more of him. But this is Netflix once again being Netflix.

This is real? I thought it was a joke. It's time to cancel my Netflix subscription.

Hannibal was a Phoenician and the Phoenicians were Caucasians. When is Hollywood going to stop blackwashing everything?

Ask history experts about Carthage, especially Tunisian historians, who have written books on the subject.

It's inconceivable to produce films/series without going through this stage.
Hollywood is dead

This is worse than the Egypt stuff.

At least there were black pharoahs (25th dynasty was Nubian). And a small but significant (around 8% to 12%) of Coptic ancestry comes from sub-saharan Africa. (Copts being the best proxy for Ancient Egyptians.)
Carthage/Hannibal is…

They’re black washing history

Hannibal looked exactly like Denzel Washington. You might disagree. You might even have evidence to the contrary. But ask yourself: is this really worth losing my job over? Hannibal looked exactly like Denzel Washington https://t.co/PD1EQVBW2w
