New Captain America Criticizes Lack of Diversity in 'Harry Potter': No Black Friends
2023-07-01
During an interview with Inverse, Anthony Mackie, the star of 'Captain America 4,' criticized the lack of diversity in movies like 'Harry Potter' and 'The Lord of the Rings,' specifically noting the absence of black actors in these highly acclaimed fantasy films.
"Harry Potter doesn't have his damn black friends. Frodo traveled through the entire universe and never encountered a black person. I would love to see Frodo in a black neighborhood; if I were on 'Saturday Night Live,' I would definitely say that," Mackie said.
'Harry Potter' has long been controversial for its lack of diversity, and author J.K. Rowling has faced criticism for her recent comments regarding transgender communities, sex, and gender identity. It is understood that the 'Harry Potter' series is planning a reboot to improve its reputation by adding more people of color to the cast and writing team.
