Please God make them cast a great actress that actually LOOKS and GIVE Cleopatra and not some random actress who’s just "famous". The fact that the awful Gad Gadot is going to portray her make me sick already. Cleo is not a little figure that they can play along with. Let’s not forget that Cleopatra wasn’t known for her beauty or her physical aspects (even though the beauty standards were way different at those time) like society like to portray her. She was mostly known for her ambitious mind, her intelligence and unbelievable charisma. Finding an actress that can complete those tasks is going to be hard but they need to portray her as she really was. Give to the people what they want to see. The Real Cleopatra.

Zendaya is rumoured to be Denis Villeneuve’s choice pick to play young Cleopatra. She is the fan's favourite, and not some random, famous actress.
Will there be as much controversy as with Adelle James, who played Cleopatra in the Netflix TV miniseries?

I don't see her portraying cleo but anyways. She's not a random female actress but surely not the fan's favorite. I think Denis was just too lazy to pick someone elsewhere. He saw her playing in his sand movies and thought like "OMG IT'S CLEOPATRA".
There will definitely be as much controversy than the show. And even MORE in my opinion. Hollywood is awful at making historical accurate movies.

I have a few names, but let’s get started with Sofia Boutella.

She isn't Egyptian, she is from Algeria.
Also, the Ptolemaic dynasty was Macedonian Greek. The only thing that made Cleopatra VII Egyptian was that she was born in Egypt.

Yeah I know. I'd rather have a North African actress (non Egyptian or greek) to portray Cleopatra than some American/Israhelli actress that Hollywood picked.
For the Macedonian roots, my take will be Tonia Sotiropoulou. Greek actress. Look exactly like her.
My other take will be May Calamawy. Egyptian/Palestinian actress. Non greek but could perfectly play her.

They both could be but if Villeneuve wants the movie to make any real money, he will probably go with someone with more recognition.
