This is reportedly a live-action film, by the way, and Brunson will play Betty Boop as herself.
From Variety:
The film will trace the origin and evolution of Betty Boop through the perspective of her creator, Max Fleischer, examining the relationship between the artist and his creation as he navigates the creative and commercial pressures of building one of the world's first animated icons, particularly as that icon begins to take on a life of its own.
You just know this is gonna be super woke ๐
(I can't wait to learn how Betty Boop was actually a Marxist struggle icon in the fight against white Christofascism!)

I jest, but don't discount the rewriting of history that could happen here. Fleischer is on record telling his artists that he wanted a caricature of flapper-girl Helen Kane, who was known for her "boop-boop-a-doop" routine.
I'll link the Wikipedia source here before the woke editors inevitably change history:
One day [in 1930], Dave Fleischer handed Grim a photograph of singer, Helen Kane and asked him to design a caricature. Fleischer had found a sound-alike, and planned to use her in the upcoming Talkartoon, 'Dizzy Dishes'. Grim exaggerated Kane's wide eyes and rosebud mouth, creating a slightly coarse, but strikingly original design.
An excerpt from film magazine Photoplay in April 1932 compared the two. One month later, Kane sued Fleischer for more than $6 million in today's currency for using her likeness.

Despite this, you will see wokies and black revisionists in the comments painting an entirely different picture:

Factoring into the production of this film for the illusive modern audience is a thing called the Third Generation Curse, where the grandkids of notable public figures ruin the legacy/inheritance of their forebears. Fleischer's grandson is involved in the production of the film:
The 'Abbott Elementary' creator and Emmy winner will develop and star as Betty Boop in a feature film adaptation of the nearly century-old animated icon, Variety has learned exclusively. Brunson's company, Fifth Chance Productions, has partnered with Mark Fleischer, grandson of Betty Boop creator Max Fleischer, and Fleischer Studios on the project, which is currently in development and overseen by Fifth Chance's head of creative affairs, Erin Wehrenberg.
I have to include the Redditors making fun of the critics (you and me), because it made me laugh ๐๐

As we like to say around these parts, it's not just about swapping skin colors or genitals. It's about the purposeful Marxist strategy of hijacking and destroying the stories that unite us as a culture and as a nation.
