Director Ava DuVernay, who is the first woman of colour to direct a big-budget studio movie with A Wrinkle in Time, believes Hollywood's diversity problems are far from over. The director said there was a need for systemic chance and unless that happens, diversity will remain a distant dream, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"I'm an anomaly. (Black Panther's) Ryan Coogler is an anomaly, (Moonlight's) Barry Jenkins is an anomaly, (Mudbound's) Dee Rees is an anomaly. When you can name us all on two hands, that's not change," she told a gathering at W Hollywood.
