Serena Williams expressed her interest in doing "King Richard" sequel, telling more stories about her family amid the 94th Academy Awards incident involving the film's lead star, Will Smith, and Chris Rock. The controversy may have overshadowed the film's success at the Oscars, but it still goes home with a big win.
Serena Williams wants to do more onscreen stories about her family. However, will it star Will Smith after what happened?
The 40-year-old star told Insider the movie had a perfect ending with her sister, Venus Williams, on the tennis court. Famous for dominating the said sports, the two have started to go on their own paths in the film.
"It's two completely different stories," she said. So if ever there would be a second movie, the single World No. 1 revealed it would show the "contrasting experiences" between her and Venus.
Serena Williams admitted to having a rough journey. She did not do well at the time, but she did fine now, resulting in a lot of drama, comparing her story to a telenovela.
People also noted how she detailed her personality as someone who doesn't dwell on the past. Amid her success and popularity, she revealed she's always striving to achieve her future goals.
She believed she didn't recognize her accomplishments enough. If she has done one thing, it's already over for her and she starts to move on.
Thinking that she has done too much may stop her from doing more. She never wants to stop as she promised to reach her goals continuously.
"King Richard" is the story of Richard Williams' effort to raise his daughters into successful athletes. Will Smith played the 80-year-old patriarch's role and received critical acclaim for his incredible portrayal.
However, instead of how great the movie is, the talks have been about the "I Am Legend" star's altercation with Chris Rock on the live broadcast of the Oscars. After the comedian made a joke about his fellow star's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, about her shaved head, waiting for her to appear in "G.I. Jane 2," Will Smith quickly went up the stage to slap the host. Jada has alopecia.
Chris Rock remained a professional and still made a joke about it, but Will Smith was all serious, warning him to keep his wife's name out of his mouth. Despite that, the latter still won the Best Actor award for his performance in "King Richard."
