They were getting many offers from actresses pouring in when she(Taylor) dropped out. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/adria-arjona-michael-b-jordan-the-thomas-crown-affair-1236465601/ I wouldn't be surprised if Hailee's name was in the mix. I would add her to my list for that role as well.
Starz has finally ordered "Power: Origins": to series: https://deadline.com/2025/07/starz-orders-power-origins-prequel-mekai-curtis-cast-1236465075/
https://deadline.com/2025/07/apple-limited-series-the-savant-premiere-date-photos-1236465600/ Jessica Chastain and Nnamdi Asomugha who plays her husband in the new AppleTV+ series The Savant
She's executive producing. Keeping up with the trend of non-black Female Actresses that are Producing & Starring in roles where they cast a Black Male as their Love Interest. Elzabeth Olsen Kristen Bell Jennifer Connelly Vanessa Hudgens Kaley Cuoco Florence Pugh Roselyn Sanchez Anna Paquin Katie Holmes Reese Witherspoon Natalie Portman Sydney Sweeney I know there's more I'm just drawing blanks right now. lol. But I LIKE this trend!
Kristen Bell and Elizabeth Olsen in particular seem to really have a push towards it. In Olsen's latest film "The Assessment" there are no white men, ZERO, all of the men including ones she is with or has sexual history with are Black or Brown men, even the other couples shown the husband is always Black. Was not expecting that.
Respect for the Black Male Actor that we haven't seen in years past... And it's mainly coming from the women; BIG name actresses at that. It's awesome to see!
That name suggests otherwise. He looks to be Afro Latino or Afro South Asian. Wouldn't surprise considering he is from Canada. We have to stop limiting what a "black" man is. To be honest even Sub Saharan Africans can often not sed the term black, as if its more of an American or western thing.
Honestly I am surprised that this show doesn't star Burnham's Son...feels like that would be the obvious connective tissue. Given how the last season of Disco Ended. Do we know how long Academy takes place after Disco not counting the final flashforward? @kalel32688 @JamalSpunky @Jeffrey Tripp

Thanks I meant how far in the future after Disco is this. Though I do think 32nd Century is lame as a time period.
