The movie has flaws but the diverse cast wasn't one of them.
And yet, how many big Hollywood movies has dared to lose any market because they wanted to maintain an explicitly gay couple on screen?
The script has been rewritten 5 times according to Angela Basset. The movie lost it's primary star and nothing we've heard about it since has been reassuring. Literally no enthusiasm from any of the cast and crew about the sequel especially compared to the first one. Radio silence from Danai Gurira and Lupita while Winston's IG feed seems to imply he is depressed and ready to move on to other projects (he's playing Batman in an upcoming audio drama). Letitia reportedly spreading her anti vaxx nonsense on set and now there might be difficulty in bringing her back to States from London if she doesn't get vaccinated. Film is on hold until she can recover from her 'on set injury'. After Chadwick died, they should have just delayed the movie and figured out what to do instead of delaying it only by a few months. Instead it sounds like we are getting a mess of a movie with no clear lead character or direction and seemingly set up to act more like a launch pad for spin offs for Iron heart and the Dora Milage.
