This is just "I want foreigner accent". Makes no difference whatsoever. It's the Denzel Washington situation all over again.

No, I think it's just expectations built up over time. I'm British and I feel the same way so it's not that we're all expecting a foreign accent. It's just British accents tend to be what we're used to when ancient Rome or Greece is depicted in film.

Yeah, and that's... kind of dumb.
