"Black Panther" Won't Change A Damn Thing In Hollywood
(AllHipHop News) Samuel L. Jackson isn't convinced that "Black Panther's" huge success will be repeated for other black-led films.
The critically acclaimed Marvel hit, with features a predominantly black cast, is the highest-grossing superhero movie and has just surpassed "Titanic" as the North American box office’s third top-grossing title of all time.
However, Jackson, who has starred in over 100 films including numerous Marvel flicks, has attributed "Black Panther’s" success to the fact that it’s a superhero movie.
“I’m not positive that 'Black Panther' is going to change the dynamic of black stories being told in Hollywood and being accepted all over the world,” Jackson, 69, told Vogue Man, explaining that its positioning in the action-genre makes it more accessible to mainstream audiences.
