‘It’s a Lot of Drama’ – Serena Williams Reveals the Idea of a Marvel-Inspired Williamsverse Following King Richard’s Success

Serena Williams says she would love to build a Marvel-inspired Williamsverse. The 40-year-old last year entered the cinematic world by coming in as one of the producers of King Richard. The life depiction of her father Richard Williams not only received love from the public but also received high critical acclaim.

Serena is undoubtedly regarded as the greatest ever women athlete. With the film receiving high acclaim worldwide, Serena has now become a well-known face in Hollywood as well. However, Serena is not stopping just at this and has bigger plans for her.

The Marvel-inspired idea of Serena Williams

In a recent interview with multi-genre journalism platform Insider, Serena revealed her love for the Marvel series. Inspired by the series, Serena confessed that similar to the Marvel universe, she would love to build a Williamsverse. Excited by the thought of the project, the 23-time Grand Slam champion asserted that Richard Williams could be a perfect launchpad for separate movies on her and Venus Williams.

Giving a glimpse of her idea, she said, “King Richard’ had a perfect ending with Venus on the tennis court.” Presenting her thoughts on the plot of the possible sequel, Serena further added, “Venus goes in her direction, and I go in my direction. It’s two completely different stories.”

The dramatic side of the Williamsverse

Serena is often regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. However, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that even the best of best players faces dark phases in their careers. Serena is no different. Dominating women’s tennis in her prime, Serena was invincible. However, just like many other great athletes, she has suffered slumps in form and has gone through injury-laden seasons throughout her career. However, not losing hope, the American stayed firm on her approach. Steadily reviving from the dark phase, Serena once again rose to the top, again becoming the World No. 1 and winning Majors.

Taking the dark phase into consideration, Serena admitted that if ever a biopic on her is made, it would be full of drama. The current World No. 243 further confessed that the biopic would be a telenovela. “I had a rough journey. I didn’t do well and then I did. It’s a lot of drama. It’s a telenovela” she said.
