>>115460605Elisa would be their biggest hurdle. the heritage of the actress has to be half black and half american indian, to match the og show, and they won't be allowed to change it for the live action version. otherwise the pedants they're pandering to will seethe and reeee about "erasure" until we're all deaf.
problem is, you have such a tiny pool of people that match the "black indian" background that your chances of finding someone that can actually act, let alone that looks the part, will be slim as fuck.
pic related is a wnba player that is the right age (30 today) and a decent physical match, though even getting her hair to match Elisa's straight hair would get politically dicey. who knows if she can act though. i'm betting no.
