It also got lambasted for being boring, but that's a whole other thing.) Granted, most of these actors are playing 'gods of Egypt,' and not actual Egyptians, so no one says they can't be white. Egypts Gods and Where to Find Them Ra, the Creator God, and the Temple of Heliopolis Sobek, God of the Nile, and the Temple of Kom Ombo Bastet, the Cat.

Of them, Young is the only person of the aforementioned who is of color. Not pictured: Geoffrey Rush, Rufus Sewell, Abby Lee, Courtney Eaton, and Elodie Young.

Finally, we have future superstar Chadwick Boseman as Thoth, the god of wisdom.
