Tessa Thompson shares her thoughts on the moral of Creed III, Michael B. Jordan as a director, and much more with R29Unbothered's KathleenNB.
So, I’m not like “put me in, Coach!” I don't feel the stress that Bianca is feeling because I feel really satisfied. But talk to me in some timeI think the only danger — and I've spoken to some of my friends about this — is particularly [for] women who direct, and started as actors, is that I think sometimes there's this idea that you can't do both. I think we are boxed into spaces so often, particularly as women.
look, we have a lot of history to rewrite in these moments and we have the opportunity now to really give praise to folks that historically have not gotten it. I think when we look at awards — I haven't been following the awards this year that closely — but I try to look at it, even though I work inside of the industry, as really just a fan. I love the movies I love, and when it comes to the award season, I don't care. But I don't watch sports and I have nothing else to root forEverything Everywhere All At Once.
I care about how that film does because I love that movie. That movie changed my mind in terms of what is possible. That movie was so inspiring to watch as I'm writing, as I'm thinking about creation. But also, if in success, that movie makes more space and gives representation in ways that Hollywood desperately needs it, it's fun to be able to root for that film.
