Jessica Alba criticized Marvel movies in a recent interview with Glamour UK, saying the franchise remains far too dominated by white actors. Alba is a veteran of the comic book film genre, having starred as Sue Storm in “Fantastic Four” (2005) and “Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer” (2007).

Diversity was almost non-existent in superhero movies when Alba appeared in her two “Fantastic Four” movies. While the genre has been more inclusive as of late, Alba said it’s still “more of the same” these days.

quote:

“Even if you look at the Marvel movies – that’s the biggest driver of fantasy and what’s happening right now in entertainment, because it’s sort of the family thing – it’s still quite Caucasian,” Alba said. “I would say I was one of the few back in the day… And it was before Marvel was sold to Disney, but it’s still quite more of the same.”

quote:

Alba continued, “I just think more for the younger people who are coming up, who are going to be our future leaders, it’s important for them to see the world on screen, or in stories, in the dreams that we create as entertainers; it reflects the world that they’re in.”

Another Hollywood starlet that seeks to pull up the ladder.


She made her money and fame and made herself a brand name, but she doesn't want others to have that chance.

Her company is nothing without her money/fame. She can't even conceive of her own privilege.

she turned what is usually a short career, hot girl/meh actress, and turned it into 100+ mil. I can tip my hat to that.

The people that made comic books and the fortune associated with comic book movies were almost all white kids and adults. Without them, none of them would be in these films. Take that away and your gravy train ends. That's who pays the bills sweetheart.

I did not like her as Sue Storm. She was hot of course but it just didn’t work for me.

She IS a white woman. She essentially has no other ethnicity in her bloodlines but European. Jessica Alba finds out she's 87% white

The long term problem is that they dont hire anything but shite liberals in the comic industry now.

Is her character going to be Valtrexx?

Absolutely that. Do as I say, not as I do….now that I’ve made my fortune off of what I’m about to speak down about, we should totally stop doing it, you guys.
