Dominica’s government has said the US studio is planning to use the tiny island as a location.
Several hundred Dominicans have applied to be extras, including some Caribs.
Carib chief Charles Williams said recent discussions with Disney producers revealed “there is a strong element of cannibalism in the script which cannot be removed”.
He said the Caribs’ ancestors “stood up against early European conquerors and because they stood up … we were labelled savages and cannibals up to today. This cannot be perpetuated in movies.”
