Ok so this is mega interesting and I haven't seen most of these but.... Mr and Mrs Smith? There's like 5 characters in that movie. None of which I can recall are black or Asian......
The 2024 Amazon series remake/reimagining.
I love Donald Glover but not even this can convince me that Mr. and Mrs. Smith needed a Remake in 2025.

And that wasn’t the original co-star. Maya Erskine was a replacement for Jane when Phoebe Waller-Bridge left the production. Waller-Birdge was originally cast Jane. So the characters would have been a biracial couple.
Interesting. I didn't watch it, but seemed another let's check the diversity check box by replacing another straight white couple with an Asian-black biracial couple. I didn't know the original casting for the show.
Glover was always attached to this. They did not change that.
They are a biracial couple, just none of them is white.
That said, Phoebe Waller-Bridge would have made a totally different show.
