I bet they tone down detta to the point race doesn't matter.
Bet she is 100% different than the books. Heck, we already know this since they cast Elba.
Clearly a case of casting having no clue about the actual content of the story.
I like Elba, but he isn't Roland and casting him forces them to change a major part of another character. This is a case where race is actually important.
