North Africans did, right. But we're talking about black Africans.
Tbh the whole thing depends on what the character is trying to portray. If it tries to portray everyday normal Ancient Greek, yeah that's an issue. If it is meant to be someone from Ethiopia, something like that, yeah no issues.
Unless the trailer shows what they're portraying (and imu the movie isn't even out yet) then the complaints are premature.

Like Aethiopians that are literally in the Illiad? Maybe Homer was woke too. /s There were some black people in the Mediterranean in ancient times. Egypt even had dynasties led by black people. Europeans didn't find about black people suddenly in the 14th century.

Like they literally exist in Greece today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_Greeks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Greeks Ignorance isn’t a sin, but you’re not even trying.
