King Richard stars Will Smith as Richard Williams, the father of Serena and Venus Williams. The movie, which is based on the true story of Serena and Venus’ childhood, follows Richard as he coaches his young daughters from Compton, California, to become the sports icons beloved by thousands of fans across the world. In an Entertainment Weekly in 2021, Serena explained why she and Venus wanted their dad to be the focus of their family’s story. “There’s a scene where my dad says…Well, Will says that you’re doing this for every Black girl. And that really hit me in a different way because obviously at the time we didn’t know,” she said. She continued, “There are so many ways to tell this story. But I think telling it through my dad was the best way because he had the idea. He knew how to do it,” she said.

In an interview with GQ in 2021, Serena also opened up about how her father was “before his time.” “My dad was and still is way before his time. You see, when someone is different—when they don’t act or look how a person assumed they would—the first reaction is often fear,” she said. “They think, How do we break them? My dad anticipated that, but he would not allow himself or his family to be broken.” She also told Refinery29 in 2021 about how she and her sister, Venus, wouldn’t be the tennis players they are today if it wasn’t for their father. “There would be no Venus and Serena if it wasn’t for Richard,” she said. “He’s always thinking on a different level. Even now, he is always thinking five steps above everyone else. And the way he taught tennis with techniques, the way he pushed myself and my sister, it was a great opportunity to tell his story.”
