Inside the frantic race to fix Sonic
It’s April 4, 2019. The first Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer has just dropped and the reactions are as damning as they are derisive. ‘I’d pay $15 to never see bad Sonic again’. ‘He’s like a mascot for a disease in a pharmaceutical ad’. ‘They’re missing the point of the source material’. ‘It’s an utter abomination’. The comments and memes were brutal. Overnight, the trailer became one of the most disliked YouTube videos on the platform. Jeff Fowler, the film’s director, was hurt by the criticism. Rather than wallow in self-pity, though, Fowler found himself motivated to make amends.

And then Marvel called. He was cast as T'Challa, young king of Wakanda, first in Civil War, then Black Panther, then the final two Avengers films. Within three years, his CV got an almost-$7 billion box office boost.

Samson Kayo Gets Real About ‘Truth Seekers’ and Black People’s Place in Horror
Samson Kayo isn’t an actor on most people’s radar, but he should be.
