"When you're putting out something that is very whitewashed and doesn't have any type of colour in it and you're not trying to be effective and change that...

"I don't know how you don't, it's been asked of me will I continue in this franchise if it continues this way, I can't. I have to see some type of change," the 34-year-old actor added.
