Jessica Albawhich he interpreted His Storm in two films of Unbelievable 4 for 20th Century Fox called Marvel movies “too Caucasian”.
Jessica Alba, who plays Sue Storm in Fantastic 4 and Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, spoke to Glamor UK about diversity in the MCU films. Despite the huge success the Marvel franchise is experiencing, the actress hasn’t seen much change since she left the role of the invisible woman.
“If you look at the Marvel movies, the biggest Marvel franchise and what’s going on in the industry, you see how much it’s for an all-family product, it’s still very Caucasian. I’m one of the few [NDR: attrici non caucasiche] in a Marvel movie and this was before the company was sold to Disney, but not much has changed. I just think that the youth growing up need different heroes, The youth who are growing up now and will be The leaders of the future should see the world reflected on the screen, The dreams we create in industry should still represent the world we live in”
The criticism of the actress comes at a particular time for the MCU. Black Panther, a film directed by an African American director and with an almost entirely African American cast except for Martin Freeman and Andy Serki, was a huge success. Additionally, Phase 4 of the MCU featured Shang-Chi, an Asian superhero in the world, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) replaced Steve Rogers as Captain America and Ms Marvel saw Kamala Khan debut in the MCU, a Muslim- born superhero. In other words, perhaps the criticism of the previously invisible woman could not have come at a more wrong time.
