Besides the usual 'cultural appropriation' police being at work -- the backlash reveals how Anti-Semitism and Anti-Israeli sentiments unfortunately pervade among the global public.
I haven't seen 'Wonder Woman' or anything Gal Godot is in, but looks-wise she seems perfect to me!

Cleopatra was Greek, not African. Leftists are so ignorant.

The funny thing is Twitter exploded with Cleopatra should be black.
They got dunked on by people who know history. Cleopatra was ethnic Greek. Macedonian Greek I believe. Her family had been ruling Egypt for a couple of generations.
Was a laugh.

How about Hollywood starts making movies that haven’t been made previously?

The few original coins and drawings that survive show Cleopatra looking rather ugly with a big hooked nose.

She played a Greek as Wonder Woman. Cleopatra the VII was Greek.
What's the difference?

Cleo wasn;t an Arab. And who has ever heard of “Nadine Njeim”?

She was the key to controlling the richest food source the Roman empire had access to. That had a lot to do with her attractiveness.
The reputation of her as a seductress was Octavian’s best bet to get the support of the Roman public (who hated Cleopatra but loved Marc Antony). Lots of history is merely political propaganda that stands the test of time- especially when the public want to believe it.

Cleopatra was pure blooded Ptolomeic Greek.
Not a drop of Arab, Egyptian or other African Blood.

Gal can pass for Greek. Shouldn’t be a problem.

That would put a lot of actors, directors, producers, promoters, theaters, out of business.
Maybe they'll take do redoing old TV shows. :)
