Alexandra Daddario and author Rick Riordan are supporting Leah Sava Jeffries amid backlash over her casting in Disney+'s new Percy Jackson show.
Last week, Disney+ announced Jeffries, 12, had been cast as Annabeth Chase, one of Percy Jackson's close friends, for the upcoming Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
Jeffries, who is Black, has since faced blowback on social media for being cast as Chase.
The young actress later said in an Instagram video that her TikTok account had been banned due to people being upset, telling fans, "They literally took down my whole account."
But the actress has since received support from Riordan — Chase's creator — and Daddario, who formerly played the fictional character.
Daddario sent love for her successor Wednesday on Twitter, writing, "Leah Jeffries is going to be an incredible Annabeth!!!"
