Actress Michelle Rodriguez has apologized after she told a reporter on camera that minorities should "stop stealing all the white people's superheroes."
According to TMZ, Rodriguez was responding to a reporter who asked whether she was going to play the Green Lantern.
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard," she said Friday night.
"It's like, stop stealing all the white people's superheroes. Like, make up your own!"
Rodriguez issued an apology on her public Facebook page Saturday.
"I have a tendency to ... speak without a filter," she said. "Sorry about that."
She also said minorities in the industry should create new superheroes instead of fitting their cultures into existing ones.
"It's time for us to write our own mythology and our own story," she said.
