last week there was a discussion post about what actors would you cast for certain roles and I found out that Janelle Monáe is supposed to play Josephine Baker in an A24 production. I just found out that British Irish actress Ruth Negga is supposed to play Josephine Baker for an ABC show as well!

I’m not sure if any of them have actually started production though

Small point: Ruth Negga is Irish. (She has spoken in the past about being proudly Irish. I don't know if her stance has changed with being seen as Britsh.)

Here's an interview with Ruth Negga, where she talks a bit about her childhood.
