Provided that personally I think it wouldn't matter, just like it didn't matter to me in the retelling of the originally England-based Arthurian myth (we had good actors, good actresses, and that's all that matters), I still know my interent and how people can't wait to go ballistic over that stuff. They could do Hamlet with the Lion King names and POC actors for the royal family.
