Proud proud proud. In 9 part thread 👇🏼… it was only three years ago that #CrazyRichAsians was released… This weekend @henrygolding stars in his first big super hero movie #SnakeEyes as one of the most iconic heroes ever created and a ninja very close to my heart (go see it!) 
Later this year @GemmaChan is the star in @MarvelStudios #Eternals in what looks to be the start of a whole new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe… (2/9)
Later this summer we will be seeing @awkwafina star alongside #MichelleYeoh and @ronnychieng in @MarvelStudios #ShangChi (3/9)
And it has only been a few weeks since #InTheHeights was released and our @MelissaBarreraM just finished filming her starring role in the all new #Scream franchise… (4/9)
And @ARamosofficial is THE leading man to save the world for the giant #Transformers franchise with @ParamountPics and @Hasbro (5/9) 😮 hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…

Proud is too small of a word. These talented artists have been told their whole life they don’t look like leading men and women or superheroes or “accessible” or “American” and yet when we show them and give them room to shine, the world only wants more. (8/9)
And just like that- a movie star looks like them and U can’t take that back. That’s the power of movies and what we can do together when we choose to. Proud. These talented actors (and many more I haven’t even mentioned yet) paving new paths bigger than any 1movie could do 🙏🏼 9/9
