The cast of Aquaman and the Lost Lands is out, with big-name actors like Jason Momma and Nicole Kidman on the list, and Randall Park, the star of the series, was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter and talked about his thoughts on the DC SuperHero series. Randall Park said: "The Aquaman series is cohesive, people like to pay attention to the special effects and picture feeling of this series, some people ignore the main theme of the work, I hope the audience will pay more attention to the social significance of Aquaman. "Hollywood's female filmmakers are on the rise, and 'The Eternals', 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' and 'Rocky' are all superhero series directed by female directors. In the case of Disney's use of female creators, some have pointed out that The number of female directors enabled by Warner is too small, and with the exception of Patty Jenkins, it is difficult to name the second female DC filmmaker.
Randall Park also answered the question: "Warner will use more female creators, many people understand filmmakers as directors or screenwriters, in fact, the composition of a film or series of creators is very complex, DC Studio has a lot of female creators and special effects artists." 」 But Randall Park also acknowledges the fact that Warner's DC Studios has a low percentage of female filmmakers compared to Disney. After all, the leader of the Marvel working group has changed, Kevin Feige said that he will gradually take a back seat, and Victoria Alonso has become the new president of the Marvel working group. Although DC Studios has some female creators, these women have not become the core figures of DC Studios. So Warner will make improvements in this regard, in addition to the Wonder Woman series, the studio will also use more female creators.
There are only two films in the Aquaman series, and one of them has not yet been released, so why does Randall Park say the series is cohesive? Randall Park gave the example of "Black Panther", although the two series came from different manufacturers, but their concepts are very similar - the only one that really released was Bosman's "Black Panther", but everyone already feels that the role has a long history and has appeared in many series. Such characters are special, so in the relevant series, the creators need to pay attention to the cohesion of the characters, plot development and theme setting. Fans who have seen the first series of "Aquaman" are lamenting that the investment in this series is too large, Warner has put a lot of blood on the budget of this work, will "Aquaman 2" reduce the quality because of budget problems?
As you can tell from the name, Randall Park, a Korean-American Hollywood actor, admits that his acting career was influenced by the affirmative action movement — he got fewer opportunities when the Hollywood affirmative action movement was not very intense. Since Hollywood launched a new round of affirmative action last summer, he has gained a lot of resources, and he also starred in the Marvel series "Wanda Vision". He is well aware of the fact that not only Asian-American and African-American actors need a fair chance to compete, but female filmmakers also need to dispel these stereotypes. When Disney was planning for the fourth phase of Marvel, the studio actively used female creators, Kate Herron and Scottland, female directors from different classes. Although the level of evaluation of the two directors is mixed, MCU Studios' work in terms of gender equality is admirable.
The author (watching the film with self-satisfaction) found that in the works of this stage of DC, except for the use of female directors in "Wonder Woman 1984", the names of female filmmakers rarely appear in the creative lineup of other works. From Randall Park's interview, we can know that Warner's female creators are not few, but that the core lineup of creative films does not have their names. So Randall Park believes that Warner will use more female creators, and how these excellent female filmmakers come to the front of the stage still needs the efforts of all parties. Including in the creative lineup of hardcore series such as "Aquaman 2" and "Black Adam", many people are women.
