Were the ancient Persians black?

Not most but some no doubt were given the use of monsoon winds for sir 4k years.

I know that in medieval times a half black Prince was ousted when his father passed and his siblings trying to kill him forced him to flee.

Eventually he founded Kilwa and married the local chieftain's daughters amongst himself and his men.

Persians themselves? No
Places that paid tribute to the Persians and were in the Persian military/bureaucracy? Sure

Modern day Persia/Iran hasn't really experienced a major ethnic change in it's history, even the Mongols/Timurids didn't spend enough time to drastically change the ethnic makeup moreso than they just conquered and demanded tribute. Only major shift was the Arab conquest, but even then the difference between Iranians and Arabs is pretty noticeable even today.

They probably looked little different than they do now. Same with a lot of regions. Just because an area was conquered didn't immediately mean mass genocide of the natives and repopulation with the conquering party, that's way too much effort for most empires.

That's like someone asking if "Americans" are black. The persian empire covered a huge area OP

What a pathetic bait.

It wasn't even implied in the movie that he WAS Persian, just that he served the empire. Hell, we even get to see Xerxes, who clearly isn't black.

Xerxes was a folsom street fair tranny.

The Persians inherited Nubian mercenaries after they conquered the Egyptians.

The Persians used the Nubians, as they used all conquests' military resources.

Persians were Indo-European but they were multiculti, the SJW's of their time.
