Probably..im just happy Lee Daniels didn't get his hands on this script. He would have had him doing crack, beating on the kids and having gay sex

Gotdamn.

 

[boskey]

Would be a classic role for somebody else. Somebody needs to stop him

 

[FaTaL]

Serena likely wanted someone white to play him.

[Pineal Gland]

Chadwick Boseman already played Jackie Robinson, James Brown and Thurgood Marshall... Why not give him the role

 

[King Frost]

hopefully he redeems himself with this

suicide squad and Aladdin were BS

 

[saturn7]

Let me guess, Richard will be portrayed as an overbearing abusive father who pushed his daughters too hard.

 

[tater]

Derek Luke was a good choice and they actually look like they could be related. I'm surprised will Smith didn't pass on the role honestly. I don't know why...

The Williams sisters emancipated from their evil father who oh just happened to turn their athletic skills into hundreds of millions of dollars despite the fact they grew up in one of the shyttiest cities in America.

And of course, as the film nears its end, the story will become a tragic retelling of the rift that occurred between Richard Williams and Serena when he refused to approve of her marriage to a white man. He’ll be painted as a bitter and cantankerous relic of the past and she a black woman who broke more boundaries than one in this era of post-racial America.
