Anthony Mackie is moving from in front of the camer to behind it. According to Deadline, the Captain America star is set to make his directorial debut with the new film Spark, profiling the unsung civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin, with King Richard star Saniyya Sidney as the heroine.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While she was at first embraced by history, Colvin was ultimately brushed aside as the face of the civil rights movement. Mackie’s film is set to bring her back to the public eye. The production has the life rights to Colvin and her story, with the production actively working with the family to tell the story right.
RELATED: Anthony Mackie Joins Ben Kingsley and Aiysha Hart in Rupert Wyatt's Medieval Epic 'Desert Warrior' Mackie’s directorial debut will be quite the departure from his superhero exploits in the MCU, and will add to an already impressive resume for Sidney, who is set to play Sasha Obama in Showtime’s The First Lady. However, this all-star cast will definitely be able to bring this inspiring story to life after so many years of Colvin’s act were set aside in the history books.
