Samuel L. Jackson doubts Black Panther's impact
- 6 years ago
Samuel L. Jackson doubts the success of 'Black Panther' will lead to long-term changes in Hollywood.
The acclaimed Marvel movie has led to calls for more films to be led by black actors and actresses, but Jackson doesn't think it will ultimately have the impact some fans have suggested.
Speaking to Matt Pomroy, Jackson explained: "I'm not positive that 'Black Panther' is going to change the dynamic of black stories being told in Hollywood and being accepted all over the world.”
He continued by saying: "Once we stop perceiving them as different and just see them as good films and they get recognised in the same category, we'll be laying markers."
Let’s hope you’re right Samuel!
