Her ancestor Ptolemy (one of Alexander's generals) was Macedonian (although that doesn't prove anything about his ethnicity). Cleo came along 250 years later - after 8/9 generations of intermarriage. There is supposed to be a fair bit of Persian in her bloodline - but again that is geography not ethnicity. No one knows what she looked like - except it wasn't like Elizabeth Taylor - but we do know she was Egyptian. Why do you care? We've had almost 2000 years of a Middle Eastern carpenter portrayed as a blond Robert Powell, and hardly anyone has been triggered by that!
Also again, these references of Liz Taylor and Robert Powell etc are from half a century ago when identity politics was unheard of.

Nothing's "wrong" otherwise we'd just be listening to jazz or or doo wopp (good times @Ponty and pop ) .
It's not a right or wrong answer, it depends on what the artist was trying portray.
Lefties breaking ranks here. Tony is going to go ballistic.

Again Jon, nobody is triggered in here, I was just pointing out what I read on Google about the ethnicity of Cleopatra.

No He isn’t
If no one else is breaking ranks, I will.
I couldn't care less about 'colour blind' casting if that is clearly the intention. The hair colour, skin colour, height and any other physical features become irrelevant to the actor's ability to get 'under the skin' of the character and give a convincing performance.
Sometimes casting will be done to challenge the audience to think more about the character(s) as with all male or all female casts, African Shakespeare or Western noh theatre.
Sometimes it makes no difference at all who is cast. The audience has no preconceptions and is not surprised.
Sometimes it is right to cast as closely as possible to the historic racial/gender/age profile of the character - but not always. It depends what the drama is trying to do and who is the audience.
FWIW I thought the black Anne Boleyn was good. After 10 minutes her skin colour became irrelevant - it was all about the tragedy and the court politics.
