Brian Tyree Henry, Ryan Destiny on ‘Fire Inside’ Boxing and Emotional ‘Beyond the Spider-Verse’: ‘There’s Not Going to Be a Dry Eye in the House’
Brian Tyree Henry and Ryan Destiny talk about 'The Fire Inside' boxing and tease an emotional 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.'
The Rachel Morrison-directed drama ( in theaters now) tells the story of Claressa “T-Rex” Shields, the Flint, Mich., native who became the first American to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing. And then I stood back and was like, “I do understand why I don’t know about the story.” Of course, you have this Black woman from Flint, Michigan, who went on to do something incredibly historic by winning two consecutive gold medals, and we buried it. DESTINY: There was obviously a ton of pressure because I knew that she’s also a very vocal person, and if she didn’t love it, she would definitely let me know and say it and not be here every day with us during the press run and the screenings, all of it.
