It feels like we can't get through a complete 12-month period without fans losing their sh*t at the announcement of a particular star playing a character in an upcoming movie.
Last year we had folks slamming the decision to turn R-Patz, and 2020 has similarly seen movie goers up in arms about an odd casting choice.
Kristen Stewart was targeted after being cast as Princess Diana in the upcoming film entitled Spencer, with one fan in particular claiming that "Diana was class and elegance Kristen is the complete opposite of that."

This move was then met with some more backlash, with one riled-up Twitter user posting, "So… there were no Egyptian women to play, um, an Egyptian queen?"
