Despite critical praise for her performance as Rue, Stenberg also received widespread vitriol from those against a black actor portraying the character.
The Darkest Minds is still in the early stages of production, and therefore a release date is TBA.
As it turns out, Sleepy Hollow actress Amandla Stenberg has been cast as the film’s complex protagonist.
The 17-year-old actor made her debut in Colombiana, where she played a younger incarnation of Zoe Saldana, before drawing mainstream attention with her portrayal of Rue in The Hunger Games.
