Gold’s decision to cast Bamgbose for the Warner Bros upcoming cinematic release is not new as she was responsible for John Boyega’s inclusion into ‘Star Wars.’

In an article by UK Guardian, Gold was described as partly responsible for the impression that British actors have colonised Hollywood by sneaking unknown young UK actors like John Boyega and Daisy Ridley, into ‘Star Wars’.
