Hollywood just cast Scarlett Johansen in Akira to play a Japanese woman and the film's producers were experiementing with a technology to make white actors appear a "little" more Asian.
Some of the shit that Hollywood takes is well warranted, especially when its clear audiences have no problem accepting movies with non-white actors. The Jungle Book is going to open to a monstrous weekend and it's an Indian kid, Star Wars did well with a black lead, Fast & Furious does huge business with a mixed ensemble mixed cast.
Regarding a Wonder Woman movie ... eh ... I dunno. I think Warner Bros. has it backwards now trying to go to an origin movie anyway. Gadot is OK, but I don't really buy her as very charismatic and I think the "vanilla superhero origin" story is starting to get stale.
Deadpool was successful in the sense that it took the superhero origin concept and put it completely on its head.
