- Halle Berry was preparing for a role as a transgender person, however after a conversation and some backlash from the LGBTQ+ community she has since backed away from the role.
- "As a cisgender woman, I now understand that I should not have considered this role and that the transgender community should undeniably have the opportunity to tell their own stories,"Berry wrote on Twitter.
- Berry vowed to be an“ally”and said she would use her,"voice to promote better representation on-screen, both in front of and behind the camera."
- GLAAD suggested that Berry watch Netflix’s “Disclosure” documentary to learn about how transgender people have been seen on film.
