Ana de Armas: Odd casting?

No. She said she practiced for months but test audiences complained she still sounds Cuban. So the director said they’ll have to fix that in post.

So the question is, why did he cast her in the first place? There are hundreds of white actresses who look and sound like Monroe. So why cast a Cuban actress? He never explained why. It’s not like PoC need to “see themselves” as Monroe.

Maybe de Armas was the only one willing to get fully nude for most of the film.

All bets are off on the accent she's pulling in that one, because seeing her in Deep Water she doesn't sound American, not in the slightest.

The woke wankers are probably celebrating this as a "woke washed" casting.

They solved that with a computer program that alters her accent so it's not perceptible.

Hmm... Ana de Armas actually looks closer than all of them. It's the eyes. Monroe's most recognized feature was her lazy eyes.

Austin Butler as Elvis looks absolutely worse.

Is she? She's just kinda "there" to be honest. If she wasn't sucking off Affleck for awhile all she'd be known for is sucking off Reeves.
