‘A Wrinkle in Time’ Is Just As Important As Black Panther

“If A Wrinkle in Time succeeds at the box office, it could open the door for not only more directors of color being given budges of $100 million+, it could also lead to non-white leads being cast in films. Maybe, our dream of seeing Percy Jackson adapted with three non-white leads could actually happen.”

“Black Panther is a special situation, because it’s Black characters from the comic books. They couldn’t exactly change the race of T’Challa and his cast; they would be fundamentally changing the story, and the point of it. T’Challa’s Blackness is something special, something that adds to his royalty. But with A Wrinkle in Time, these characters could have been any race. They could have been white. But Ava chose to make a majority of them people of color – which is tremendously important.”

THIS!!! Seriously, go view the crap out of this movie!

  12. uzumaki-rebellion said: This movie was not good unfortunately. I’m so glad Ava didn’t make BP. Oprah, Reese, and Mindy brought nothing to the film and may have overshadowed it by being a bland trio. I loved this book as a child, but the script was terrible. BP was a cultural juggernaut and Wrinkle is forgettable. It became about the cast in the opposite way of BP (PoC snoozer vs. Blackity Black awesome) which had a great storyline with amazing visuals and a Black diaspora focal point.
