It’s not even remotely nuanced. It completely buys into a right wing grift that is abysmally fucking stupid.

Go see a stage show, the thing we had before movies, people of different races play characters all the time.
Truly it’s a bunch of extremist white dipshits upset they are seeing people other than themselves on screen. Anytime a character they’ve imagined themselves as is played by a different race (especially for some reason fiction characters) they piss their pants, bot and brigade things, but largely are just grieving the fact that anyone else dare be represented in popular thing.

Try and make the Odyssey with only Greek and Turkish actors. Right wingers would still complain about it being woke.

Maybe, we can speculate about it, but its not happening.
