Not Persian, but less white (and already has experience playing Arab/Middle Eastern in action movies): Dwayne Johnson.
And on average his movies are good for $22 million more than Jake Gyllenhaal and $3 million more on opening weekend.
But I recognize why they'd choose a name like Gyllenhaal. Doesn't make it any less annoying than John Wayne playing Genghis Khan, though.
