A petition has been started against Warner Bros.' announcement that Rooney Mara will play Native American princess Tiger Lily in the movie adaptation of Peter Pan.
The petition has garnered more than 4,000 signatures since its launch via Care2 and has demanded that Warner Bros. "stop casting white actors to play people of color".
The petition states "This casting choice is particularly shameful for a children's movie. Telling children their role models must be all white is unacceptable".
Hugh Jackman and Garrett Hedlund are set to star alongside Mara in the film which will be directed by Joe Wright, and is set to hit theaters on July 17, 2015.
