Hey, I wouldn't mind playing Batman or something like that, you know?
You know, a new character would be '00Soul' or something cool like that.
In real life though, I think - the risk of this sounding a little cliché -
I mean, the real-life superheroes are the people who get up and go to work every
day. I mean those are the people that that I admire, I look up to, especially
having done this role and The Hate U Give. The Hate U Give is about a young
girl, 16-year-old Starr Carter, who lives in the Garden Heights section community -
predominately black community - and goes to the dominantly white high school.
And so you know being black with friends and then trying to find another personality
and shifting when she's at her high school. And she witnesses a killing of
her best friend, Khalil, by the police and she has to
basically find her voice, decide is she gonna stand up and speak out against
this violence and against other injustices that are happening in their
community. My character Maverick, Big Mav, is her father, and I've been, you know,
raising my kids since they were little to find themselves, find their own voice
and discover who they are and not be afraid to speak out. And so what it
basically is this, I think, a father-daughter film about finding your
voice, about finding who you are and not being afraid you know to speak up. And I
think that this film gives an opportunity to help audiences to help
different cultures, to help different aspects of society, understand what
this black family and culture are going through. So then that will
spark dialogue, conversation, and give a level of empathy to you know who we are
and then how does that - how does our plight, our journey reflect and you know
show the way other people are living and realizing that we're all
in some of the same circumstances.
