Neither did Johnny Depp at one point. Nor does Armie Hammer _right now_. They were both, however, afforded opportunities.

Yeah, I don’t think that it’s Adam’s race what’s preventing him from Johnny Depp-ish stardom. Attractive actors get top billing, and that’s a whole new kettle of unfairness.

I’d rather see cameos from the ghosts of Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.

I was prepared to be skeptical, but with Depp and Hammer they have Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson and William Fichtner? That’s a hell of a cast. Maybe it will be good.

Do they work it in that the LR’s brother had fathered a child?

Because we all know what comes from that! 😃
