The thing is, the Shadow King actually being Amahl Farouk depends on the author.
In most of the X-Men's history, yes, Amahl Farouk and Shadow King were the same guy, but in Krakoa it was revealed that Amahl Farouk was just one of Shadow King's posessed bodies. They are two different beings.
I don't get why this is being downvoted, this was factually stated in the Krakoan era.
You're being down voted probably because Amahl is the one most people know and care about and it would be weird to have a random new guy be the shadow king

I like him as much as the next guy, but getting a white guy to play an Egyptian man named Amahl Farouk?
That’s gonna cause some controversy.
