the casting of the comedianjack whitehall in a new disney film has sparked an outcry following reports he will play a character who is gay. he says he is honoured to be a part of the film which is due out next year but some are asking why a gay actor wasn't cast for the role instead. lizo mzimba has the story. world, get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. welcome tojungle cruise! based on a theme park ride, jungle cruise starring dwayne "the rock" johnson and filmed on huge sets in hawaii, is set to be one of 2019's biggest movies. it comes from disney. the studio has been praised for the way it's dealt with issues like diversity in films like black panther. hi, everybody, welcome to the set ofjungle cruise. but the movie, which also stars

emily blunt, is facing controversy over how her character's brother has reportedly been cast. class, i've got good news and bad news, what do you want? the bad news. it's not really that jack whitehall, best known for his stand—up act and the tv comedy bad education, has been cast. it's that according to a newspaper report his character is a gay man, with many people saying they are upset that a gay actor wasn't picked for the role. it's great that disney has got a gay role like this in one of their big films. but there are so many gay actors who could have played the role that it seems a missed opportunity. lgbt people are underrepresented in the media and in films, so disney had an opportunity here to improve that representation by having a talented gay actor that can embrace the role and play something like this in the film. neitherjack whitehall nor disney have confirmed the character's sexuality, but unsurprisingly the issue is still being vigorously debated on social media. omar shariffjunior is an actor and campaigner on issues like gay representation,

he said: "really, disney? your first significant gay role will be played by a straight white man perpetuating stereotypes? fail! this ship should sink." however stephen fry, who has also campaigned on issues affecting gay people, tweeted... disney are no doubt already carefully assessing whetherjungle cruise still looks likely to sail to box office success, or whether they think it's already heading for difficult waters. lizo mzimba, bbc news. stay with us, much more coming up. now, time for a look at the weather with enriched. thank you and good evening. mixed fortunes once again across the uk today. there was some sunshine to be found. the south
