Similar happened with John Boyega in The Force Awakens

Asia is pretty racist.
shareIt looks like DM took the article down. I don't see it as a problem as long as they didn't remove her from the movie. It makes business sense to feature more Asian stars on promotional materials if you are promoting the movie in Asia. The original poster featured eight characters and the second poster features NINE characters. The second poster also looks better overall since the artwork is much more colorful. As I recall, Boyega's image was smaller on the Asian posters but he was still there.

How is Sharon Duncan-Brewster deleted? Both movie posters were designed at the same time, she was never featured on that poster in the first place, just like the two other actors who don't appear on cast poster (United States).

She certainly was not removed from the poster. There should only be complaints if her scenes are removed from the movie. I love Daily Mail but their headlines are occasionally misleading or provocative. The Daily Mail headlines are clickbait but there is usually a lot of good info and pictures/videos in the articles.
