Venus and Serena are both executive producers on the film. Serena spoke about how much the film meant to her in a 2021 interview with Forbes.
‘I think it was a great opportunity to see how amazing African-American fathers are. A lot of Black men aren’t seen in that light. And a lot of people think that my dad was a different character. He wanted us to have fun first over anything. That’s the thing that I loved most,’ she revealed.
King Richard is also nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture at the upcoming 94th Academy Awards.
