Black Panther Doesn't Need a Black Director

 

Actor Anthony Mackie feels it is not necessary a black director directs the first stand alone Marvel black superhero movie Black Panther.

“I don't think it's important at all, as a director your job is to tell a story. You know, they didn't get a horse to direct Seabiscuit!” he said during an interview with The Daily Beast

Mackie went on to try and clarify his comment: “The thing is I don't think the race of the director has to do with their ability to tell a story. I think it's all about the director's ability to be able to relate to that story and do it justice. I think men can direct women, and two of my greatest work experiences were with female directors. So I think it all depends. May the best man or woman win.”
