Halle is beautiful but im not sure seeing her in yet another super hero property is in the cards. She has Catwoman and Storm.. No matter what happens i seriously doubt we'll see a black woman with the role. They might go more of a greek Iran or modern day egyptian kind of look which is sad.

She's just over 50 and pretty damned hot, still. Living in Hawaii will do that.
She could still pull it off, but they never use the original stars for this stuff.
It's unlikely that Isis was originally intended to be a Nubian (black), btw. The Egyptians were a mix of Asiatic, North African (like the Berbers) and Arabic stock. Only the Southern Kingdom/Nubia would have included Nubians, and the Isis legends originated in the Nile Delta.

The kemetians were of indigenous African stock. They were not "asiatics". They were Indigenous Africans. As was their culture, their language, their dress and their history. Furthermore the Berbers (which is a langauge) are also indigenous Africans, whether or not there has been mixing over time with nonAfricans doesn't negate the fact that their start was in Africa and they still live there.
This notion of Nubia is something created to juxtapose against egypt. A place where "blacks" came from so the uninformed could continue screaming that ancient kmt wasn't black when infact it was an African creation. The truth of the matter is that egypt is a manifestation from the south.
To everybody.if it is the spirit of Isis and she is reincarnated into peoplewhy in the world can't she be portrayed by a Black actress??????????
