King Richard

Anthony Mackie is directing a film about civil rights trailblazer Claudette Colvin.

The Williams sister's Oscar buzzing biopic King Richard brought to light some of the intimate details behind their incredible life story including the tennis star's close relationship with their elder sister Yetunde Price who was tragically murdered in 2003.

"King Richard," the biopic of Serena and Venus Williams' father, spotlights the unbreakable and loving bond that he has always shared with his tennis prodigy daughters. These touching photos of the three of them more than prove that truth.

While King Richard has already generated Oscar buzz for Will Smith's stunning portrayal of Venus and Serena's hardworking father Richard Williams, some critics weren't too happy with the film crediting the tennis champs dad for their iconic career.

A colorism debate erupted when Will Smith was announced as the actor who would portray Richard Williams.
