Trailer for Will Smith starring as Richard Williams (Venus & Serena's father)

[feelosofer]

The amount of focus and dedication it took for Richard Williams to forge such diamonds and Venus and Serena Williams is rare. Did he make some mistakes on the way, yes, we all do but the results are something that can't be argued with.

Should’ve been Idris Elba

 

[Sterling Archer]

Couldve done without the attempt at the accent Will. You need to stop that. Doesnt add anything to the role and detracts from the performance if it isnt good but im def gonna watch. Black father leading a household and heading the upbringing of two of the most successful women in tennis, one of which is in the conversation as GOAT athlete? Hell, yeah imma watch. I hope the girls portraying these roles get a large amount of screen time.

Should have been Denzel.

"We hard on the kids cuz we ARE!"

"Wanna check on the kids let's check on the kids

We got future doctors a couple tennis stars!"

Delroy Lindo would have been a perfect casting if he was 20 years younger.

Should’ve been Idris Elba

…. nah, it needed to be an ADOS/FBA actor





if not Will then ……

 

[Neil Tyson]

…. nah, it needed to be an ADOS/FBA actor





if not Will then ……

why would that matter

 

[Robbie3000]

should have been denzel i feel.

Nah Denzel is going to play Lavar and win an Oscar

But I’m all in for this movie.

 

[kingofnyc]

why would that matter

….. cause Richard Williams is ADOS/FBA

 

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

Another failed Will Smith Oscar bait movie.

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

…. nah, it needed to be an ADOS/FBA actor





if not Will then ……

Im goin based on looks

Should’ve been Idris Elba

Should have been Denzel.

Man the Williams story is legit a movie, it's damn near too good to be true

A black dad in Compton, in the 80s/90s, pushing his daughters to be tennis GOATs and it came to fruition #BlackExcellence

Yeah Will ain't got the look, but damn sure seems like he'll have the acting part down

 

[kingofnyc]

Im goin based on looks

i rather the actor had more in common with the social climate of being a Black father from da hood in America vs someone that looks more like him

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

I"m thinking Carl Lumbly would fit the bill more but......
