Warner used Latin actor Solo as the star of Cobra and Blue Beetle, DC Studios made Hollywood's first Latin hero, and DC Universe movies and series developed well in terms of equal rights. Among Hollywood's big movie studios, Disney has made more rapid progress in diversification, "Black Panther" has made people realize that black actors have a high status in the Marvel field, and the studio is also planning to launch Latin heroes. On a filmmaker level, Victoria Maoney became the first African-American female director in the Star Wars series, and Sandy Newton, who has African ancestry, also starred in Solo the Ranger: A Star Wars Story. However, some fans believe that Star Wars and the spin-offs of the series need to focus on quality, rather than the identity of the director or actor, does Star Wars need African-American filmmakers?
Sandy Newton explains the topic: "I don't want to be involved in Disney, and I'm not going to go back to the popular interstellar films. Sandy Newton was unhappy with the direction of her role in Star Wars, and she didn't agree with the plot of the Star Wars film and television series, which was the main reason for her withdrawal from the Disney series. However, fans thought of something else — Scarlett Johansson's contract with the studio hadn't been resolved, and the Russo brothers said at this juncture: "We don't direct Marvel anymore." "Now that Sandy Newton, an African-American actress, wants to quit Disney, does that mean that the quality of big studios has declined? Or is Disney management not being kind enough to actors and good filmmakers? The actress explained her reasons for arguing that African-American filmmakers and actors were no longer needed for Star Wars.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker featured a female director of African descent, Mahoney, but in the official sources of the work, the director found is Abrams' name. Later, Disney explained this - Mahoney completed the second stage of the instruction and shooting tasks, And Maoni did not shoot a lot of bridges, so in the production list of this series, Mahoney was placed in the lineup of screenwriters. Disney's explanation is fine in the eyes of most fans, and the production list of the Captain America trilogy and Doctor Strange is based on the participation of each creator. At that time, "Star Wars" hyped up the use of black female directors, but in fact the company did not give African-American filmmakers room to show their talents, and black female directors were just "gimmicks" for film promotion.
Since this incident, African-American filmmakers have not been fond of the Star Wars works that Disney has taken over. Sandy Newton didn't want to work on Disney for another reason — the Westworld actor was disappointed with her role path in Star Wars, and the Disney crew's improvisational twist made it hard for her to accept. I learned that her role was actually arranged according to the script in the 2018 stage play "Han Ren Singing", so Sandy Newton should survive. However, in the Star Wars genre, the character's setting became "died in an accident", which led to her role being cut by almost two-thirds. It can be seen that Disney still uses the role of African American actors as a gimmick, not to appreciate their talents.
Later, Kevin Feige explained the reason why Star Wars cut sandy Newton's role, the series changed the director on the eve of the release, and the tone of the entire work had to be changed, so that the actors needed to re-shoot the bridge, and the previously produced clips needed to be deleted. And the shooting time was tight, and Sandy Newton still had contracts for "Memories" and other films at the time, so Disney made the decision to reduce her role. Marvel working groups and Disney staff, they believe that "Star Wars" still needs African-American filmmakers, but some accidents have led to misunderstandings among some actors. However, Sandy Newton believes that these accidents happened very coincidentally to black creators and actors, and this is not an accident.
Sandy Newton didn't want to work on Disney for the same reasons as Scarlett Johansson and the Russo brothers, and the white movie stars and directors stopped working with Disney because the big studios cut their salaries during special periods, and some big names couldn't accept it. Sandy Newton declined to work with Disney because she felt that the big company was still stuck in the "superficial article" in terms of equal rights, and "Star Wars" may require African-American filmmakers in terms of publicity, but the series did not respect the value of diverse filmmakers. This was also reflected in the filming of Black Panther, which featured a large number of African-American actors, yet the production lineup was purely white creators.
