Ahead of the film's release, take a look at the veteran and first-time actors helping to tell the Williams’ family story for the first time.If early buzz is anything to go by, Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon is shaping up to be yet another massive hit for the studio. With a talented cast backing the film (Richard is played by award-winning actor, Will Smith), and enough dramatic scenes to make you shed a tear or two, King Richard is damn-near a guaranteed hit.

Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, this sport biopic follows Richard Williams and his journey of taking his two daughters out of Compton, California and into the tennis big leagues. That’s what the incoming film King Richard aims to do-spotlight and give credit to the man who shaped the two greatest athletes. But though we often share the siblings’ tales of greatness, what’s perhaps missing from their narrative is who got them there.

They rocked cornrows and natural hairstyles while beating opponent after opponent, respectability politics be damned. Perhaps the best athletes to ever live (we’re only a little bit biased), the Williams sisters took the tennis world by storm for not only their incredible athletic feats but also for being unapologetically Black. You can’t talk about tennis without mentioning Serena and Venus Williams.
