“I feel that for the last 10 years of my life, I’ve been just stuck. I felt stuck doing these franchises,” the actress said. “I’m very grateful for the opportunities that they provided, from collaborating with amazing directors and getting to meet cast members that I consider friends and getting to play a role that fans, especially children, love. But it also meant that I felt artistically stuck in my craft of not being able to expand or grow or challenge myself by playing different sorts of genres and different roles.”

It isn't the franchises, honey. You're just not a very good actor, so appreciate your good luck and slap on some more green body paint!

She's been in all those (unfortunately popular) franchise movies...solely as 'diversity' casting (and little else) it's not as if she's some stunning actress or anything (she's essentially the female 'Tyrese Gibson') hired only to placate industry 'quota's'

She could have easily pulled out of any one of these franchises...and they'd have still born made and carried on without her...regardless.

Poor malcontented cherub (being forced to star in all these blockbusters) my heart bleeds for her

She's:
1.) Black
2.) Female
3.) Very thin

Which is why she's a "star."
