Serena Williams Wants ‘King Richard’ Sequel

Web Desk — Serena Williams, after the exceptional success of “King Richard” wants to make the film’s sequel focusing on her personal story, IndieWire has reported.

The Oscar-winning Warner Bros. film depicts Venus and Serena Williams’ rise to tennis stardom.

‘King Richard,’ according to producer Williams, had the perfect ending with Venus on the tennis court. However, there is definitely room for a Williams family cinematic universe, with both sisters’ stories told in spin-off films.

“Venus moves in her direction and I go in mine,” Williams said. “It’s two completely different stories.”

She continued, “I had a rough journey. I didn’t do well and then I did. It’s a lot of drama. It’s a telenovela. I don’t think I recognize my accomplishments enough. I’m one of those people that’s like, ‘If it’s done, it’s done, I’ve moved on.’ Because if you think about what you’ve done too much, you may stop doing it. And I never want to stop. I’m still trying to reach my goals.”

“King Richard” starred Demi Singleton as Serena and Saniyya Sidney as Venus. Will Smith won an Oscar for his role as their father Richard Williams. Additionally, the film was nominated for Best Picture, Film Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Song, and Best Supporting Actress for Aunjanue Ellis, who played matriarch Oracene Williams.

“King Richard” director Reinaldo Marcus Green previously told IndieWire that the film is more of a family story than a sports movie. Despite the fact that the real Richard Williams was not involved in the feature, the Williams sisters’ retelling of their upbringing was more than enough for the story to revolve around.
