Back when Jessica appeared in the Fantastic Four flicks in the early 2000s, diversity was nearly nonexistent in superhero movies.

And now, even years later, Jessica believes the studio is still lacking diverse representation.

"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," Jessica told Glamour UK.

She says that she was "one of the few back in the day," but things didn't really get significantly better when "Marvel was sold to Disney."

Even though Marvel has made some strides to diversify in recent years with films like Black Panther and Shang-Chi, Jessica says there's still room for improvement.

"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 onscreen, or in stories, in the dreams that we create as entertainers; it reflects the world that they’re in," Jessica concluded.

You can read all that Jessica had to say here.​

 

[Matt504]

white women have some ancestors from Spain and swear they not white

 

[The Pledge]

Still quite Caucasian

I mean, she ain't wrong.

 

[At30wecashout]

I can just hear the white people getting mad. Actually, that Yungrippa libertarian got a video coming soon.

 

[ORDER_66]

with the last name alba no one would confuse her for being hispanic keep it 100... most of these comic stories from marvel has nothing but white characters.... has she not read any comic book in her life???

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

 

[UpAndComing]

Cablanasian babble

 

[Alix217]

She's right. This is why I could never get into the CACVengers

 

[Remote]

The bytch who doesn’t even speak Spanish is bytching about whiteness in movies?




Cállate babosa

 

[CodeKansas]

She's not wrong, but most of the characters portrayed in the films are white in the comics.

And since racebending is lazy as fukk (Nick Fury being the exception), more of the non-white characters (that are actually worth a damn) need to be brought in.

We got Blade coming up, and Spectrum got brought in during Wandavision. There's Kamala from Ms. Marvel who's here now.

We still got the obvious Miles Morales, and maybe Riri Williams and Elijah Bradley soon.

But what the streets REALLY want is motherfukking Adam Brashear.

 

[Still Benefited]

Are they really though?


Maybe she just saw Thor which I havent. Must have so many cacs in that movie it set Marvel back


Because to me,Ive seen alot of diversity. At a certain point you just become annoying by continuing to ask for more where its not needed (see LGBT).

 

[Dynamite James]

She’s on her Gina Rodriguez shyt. That’s code for “marvel needs more white Latinos!!”

 

[Ahadi]

Love her

 

[ORDER_66]

@chkmeout did I say something wrong?!? why the angry face dap???
