‘Queen Cleopatra’ is a Netflix documentary that will premiere on May 10th. Jada Pinkett Smith is the executive producer of the project, which is about the Egyptian queen Cleopatra. In the show, Cleopatra is played by British actress Adele James. Netflix’s decision to cast Adele, who is half black, as Cleopatra was not without controversy. An Egyptian lawyer has even filed a lawsuit against Netflix. However, the ‘Queen Cleopatra’ director has spoken out in defense of the decision to cast Adele in the lead role.
In a statement about the series, Jada said, “Cleopatra is a queen that many know, but not in her truth. This season will delve into her story and re-evaluate this fascinating part of her story.” You can see photos of Adele as Cleopatra on parade, and much more, in our gallery.
