'I would say I was one of the few back in the day,' the Fantastic Four star says, 'And it was before Marvel was sold to Disney'
"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."
"I would say I was one of the few back in the day… And it was before Marvel was sold to Disney, but it’s still quite more of the same." While Disney has made a point of bringing more diversity to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with films like"Black Panther" and"Shang-Chi," Disney+ series"Ms. Marvel" and having Anthony Mackie take on the mantle of Captain America — Alba says it's not enough.
"I just think more for the younger people who are coming up," Alba says,"who are going to be our future leaders, it's important for them to see the world on screen, or in stories, in the dreams that we create as entertainers; it reflects the world that they're in."
