Will this film be "woke"?

It's Ridley Scott, of course it will be.

"Denzel Washington as a former slave-turned-wealthy arms and commodity dealer with a grudge against the emperors."

Ain't that hilarious.

It's only woke if you consciously choose to view it as woke. Just like it's only racist if you consciously choose to view it as racist.

The first one was more of a historical fantasy than anything else. I doubt this one will be any more accurate.

Yes, it will have gay Romans in it.

GOD I HOPE SO....NOTHING WORSE THAN A BUNCH OF WHITE GUYS IN SKIRTS.
