Marvel movies need more off-screen diversity, says Anthony Mackie, star of the upcoming Disney Plus series ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.’

Mackie made the comment as Hollywood reckons with issues of diversity, inclusion and representation amid nationwide protests over systemic racism. He was responding to a question from Diggs about how he was responding to this historical"moment."

The franchise has lined up more diverse directing talent for some of its upcoming projects, however. Chinese filmmaker Chloé Zhao will helm"The Eternals." Destin Daniel Cretton , who is of Japanese descent, will direct"Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings." “My big push with Marvel is hire the best person for the job. Even if it means we’re going to get the best two women, we’re going to get the best two men. Fine. I’m cool with those numbers for the next 10 years.

Disney, which owns Marvel Entertainment and distributes content set in the so-called MCU, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If this really bothered him, he would decline his paycheck.

Diversity. That is, can all skin colors and all races be featured in the film? Is it possible for all movies? Don't forget the yellow race. I'm looking forward to what kind of movie it will be.

Thanks for the heads up I won’t be watching!!

Yeah, yeah. Whatever

Every white person should be forced to suffer for slavery from hundreds of years ago.
