Coming Soon! Funko Directors - Ava DuVernay



Celebrate the Oscar-nominated and Emmy winning filmmaker who became the first black woman to have a film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards with Selma and who is the top-grossing black woman director in American box office history with A Wrinkle in Time. She has even had a collector’s edition Barbie doll in her likeness sold out in 16 minutes in 2017. Through her arts collective ARRAY, DuVernay amplifies the experience of people of color and women of all kinds on screen through her film and TV projects, including Selma, 13th, A Wrinkle in Time, Queen Sugar and When They See Us.

We don't cover a lot of Funko products, because in all honesty, they don't need the coverage, and we aren't hardcore collectors. However, this is really cool. I like how Funko is highlighting the people who help bring our favorite pop culture franchises to life. I'm also excited for them to include more female directors. Who would you like to see them make a Pop! of? And do you want us to cover more Funko products?
