The movie is scheduled to hit theaters later this year.
Smith portrays Richard Williams in the film, which shows his journey as “an undeterred father instrumental in raising two of the most extraordinarily gifted athletes of all time, who will end up changing the sport of tennis forever,” a description for the film reads, in part.
Later in the trailer, Smith is seen talking to Demi Singleton ― who portrays Serena Williams in the film ― about the impact she could make as a young Black girl playing tennis,“This next step you about to take, you not gonna be just representing you, you’re gonna be representing every little Black girl on Earth,” he says.“How could you?” Smith says, adding, “This world ain’t never had no respect for Richard Williams, but they’re going to respect y’all.
“King Richard” was directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and written by Zach Baylin. Other stars in the movie include Saniyya Sidney as Venus Williams and Aunjanue Ellis as the tennis stars’ mother, Oracene “Brandi” Williams.
