Winston Duke of Black Panther admits that he was not "sexualized and fetishized" in the movie Marvel

2018 turns out to be a good year for him with acclaimed roles in the world of Marvel.

And Winston Duke has now all told about his experience of corporal objectivation in Ryan Coogler's Black Panther, admitting that he did not expect his character M & # 39; Baku to be "badualized and". badized like that. "

Frankly speaking to ES Magazine, the 32-year-old actor also admitted that "being consumed as a bad object was good, but if it were done to a woman, it would not be acceptable."

Winston had his first big hit in the Marvel Universe last year and continues his path to stardom in the critically acclaimed new film of Jordan Peele, which has been hailed by critics.

However, his role in Black Panther came with the unknown territory of the body's objectification.

"I did not expect to be, uh, kind of badualized and badized like that, I did not want to be consumed only as a bad object, and even if it looked good, if it was done to a woman, it would not would not be acceptable. "

"It was very important for me to direct the conversation to ask why people are responding in this way. How often do they see characters like this in a movie?

Winston continued to question: "How often do they see black men represented with as much dimension and clbad, with masculinity both authentic and malleable?

"I do not think it's represented very often, and it's really important to emphasize it."

The educated star of Yale also discussed the understanding of masculinity after her father's absence.

"I did not learn to be a man, and femininity remained constant.

"I could appreciate strength as his own thing, not attached to gender. Being raised this way also taught me that it is not difficult to talk, to cry, "he noted.

Winston also discussed the racial perception of his latest film, Us, alongside Lupita Nyong's, revealing: "It was said that this movie did not talk about race, but I think that all that includes people with black skin is, by extension, race. & # 39;

[The fact that the Wilsons are a middle-clbad black family is, he believes, significant], "Because it concerns us all. It unifies us to say that we are all part of the same monster, "he revealed.

And after playing in two extremely popular films last year and another this year, Winston pondered his relationship with his new fame.

"You're in a transactional relationship to some extent – fans buy you an image, so you own it." But you still have autonomy in your life and you must always take care of it.

"So it's a good choice, to be an excellent source of consumption while remaining your personal business," he said.
