Lionsgate and Australian director Alex Proyas have apologized for whitewashing African history in the upcoming film Gods of Egypt. The studio ignited controversy earlier this month when it released character posters and a first-look trailer for the film, a period fantasy based in Egypt that features mostly white actors, including Scottish star Gerard Butler and Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who is Danish. Added Proyas: The process of casting a movie has many complicated variables, but it is clear that our casting choices should have been more diverse.
