Not to add on to the trend of the commentary on the casting, but i’m so excited for the diversity it’s going to have! Not just one, but two poc in the main trio!
And it’s just they’re doing something so many other adaptations of this genre have failed to do. Divergent, Hunger Games, the Maze Runner, Harry Potter — most of the main cast in these are white. Even Harry Potter, where a good amount of the characters’ race was not specified.
But there’s going to be so much representation in this — think about the Heroes of Olympus series. We’re going to have two black girls, an Indigenous girl, a Chinese boy, a Latino boy, etc. This is just so exciting because it means that so many kids will finally see themselves represented on screen.
