This past weekend, the summer blockbuster Hobbs and Shaw premiered in Los Angeles, and while on the red carpet, Variety asked Dwayne Johnson how he thought Hollywood was doing in regards to diversity and inclusion. They posted the video response to twitter, which I’ll include below, but here’s his quote:
I think they’re doing great. I think, obviously, Marvel has done a tremendous job in building out. And also for me, DC, we’re doing Black Adam with Warner Bros. and DC. I think as everything builds and grows and you take the temperament of society and what’s happening. I think here in Hollywood, especially with franchises and characters and publicly traded companies that are sensitive to that sort of thing, I think they’re doing a good job. Maybe one day we’ll see a Black Superman. You’re looking at him.
Ha! He’s so fun!
