Marvel has made a push in recent years to diversify with Marvel Studio presidentKevin Feigesaying in 2018, “When you have diverse voices, you get better stories and you get more exciting stories, you get more surprising stories. And that is something that is very clear.”
Marvel’s upcoming slate includes films from several filmmakers of color, including Chinese filmmaker Chloé Zhao, who’s helmingThe Eternals; Cretton, who is of Japanese descent, and directedShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings; as well as Ryan Coogler, who’s returning for the sequel toBlack Panther.
Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Ringshits theaters on September 3.
