Daniele Venturelli / Getty Images Set for an Oct. 10 release, the film follows a teacher (Julia) who finds herself embroiled in a sexual assault scandal involving her colleague (Andrew) and a star student (Ayo). Inspired by the reckoning sparked by the #MeToo movement, the film has led the cast to answer questions about #MeToo, race dynamics, and more. Mondadori Portfolio / Getty Images Recently, they sat down for an interview to talk more about After the Hunt, but things took an awkward turn when the reporter left Ayo out of a question. John Nacion / Getty Images In clips currently dominating my personal timeline, the reporter asks about what was supposedly "lost during the politically correct era." Seemingly directing the question to Andrew and Julia, the reporter asked, "What [do] we have to expect in Hollywood after the MeToo movement and the Black Lives Matter are done?" @PopCrave / Via x.com Ayo, who was sitting beside them, looked perplexed. Her eyes widened in disbelief as Andrew shifted uncomfortably in his seat to face Julia and Ayo. "Um, can you repeat that?" Julia asked, stunned. "I can't tell which of us you're talking to." When the interviewer clarified that the question was indeed meant for her and Andrew, Ayo let out an awkward laugh, frowning and tilting her head in confusion.pic.twitter.com/i1Ncya1cFt- Ayo Edebiri Fashion (@ayoedebiristyle) September 6, 2025 @ayoedebiristyle / Via Twitter: @ayoedebiristyle "Well, sorry," Ayo said, interrupting. "I know that that's not for me - and I don't know if it's purposeful if it's about me - but I just am curious. I don't think it's done," she continued, as Julia stressed, "It's not done." @PopCrave / Via x.com "I don't think it's done at all," Ayo continued. "I think maybe hashtags might not be used as much, but I do think that there's work being done by activists, by people every day that's beautiful, important work that's not finished, that's really, really, really active for a reason 'cause this world is really charged, and that work isn't finished at all." @PopCrave / Via x.com She speculated that the difference now is the level of media attention being given to the movements. "Maybe if there's not mainstream coverage in the way that there might have been, daily headlines in the way it might have been eight or so years ago, but I don't think that means that the work is done." @PopCrave / Via x.com Chiming in, Andrew agreed that the movements are still "absolutely alive." Like Ayo, he believes they're just not as "covered" or "magnified as much in this present moment."Ayo Edebiri eloquently talks about the political state of the hashtag "Me Too" & the Black Lives Matter movement after being deliberately excluded from the question by an interviewer for their 'After the Hunt' press tour. pic.twitter.com/KyoLoLU1lP- Pop Crave (@PopCrave) September 7, 2025 @PopCrave / Via Twitter: @PopCrave People had a LOT to say about the moment online, with many expressing complete disbelief at the reporter for excluding Ayo from the question but praising the perfect and "skillful" way she handled it. One X user said, "This interviewer was on straight bs for excluding her but Ayo's answer was so thoughtful and eloquent."This interviewer was on straight bs for excluding her but Ayo's answer was so thoughtful and eloquent pic.twitter.com/Kf7Oprh1TY- Ayo's EGOT in ✋🏽 (@EdEddNReady) September 6, 2025 @EdEddNReady / Via Twitter: @EdEddNReady Another pointed out how she answered the question anyway, even though it wasn't directed at her: "oh they pissed her straight off.""I don't know if it's purposeful that it's not for me" and answered anyway oh they pissed her straight off 😭 https://t.co/YJidezNtBZ- g 🧚🏾♀️ 🫐 (@edebiriii) September 6, 2025 @edebiriii / Via Twitter: @edebiriii A third viewer added, "sorry including andrew garfield and not ayo edebiri who is both BLACK and a WOMAN in a question about MeToo and Black Lives Matter is actual insanity."sorry including andrew garfield and not ayo edebiri who is both BLACK and a WOMAN in a question about MeToo and Black Lives Matter is actual insanity 😭 https://t.co/Axh3l5bmfe- z (@pinkv3nus) September 7, 2025 @pinkv3nus / Via Twitter: @pinkv3nus Some, like these two accounts, suggested that Ayo actually saved Julia and Andrew from having to answer the nightmare of a question.kinda wild that a question about the Me Too Movement AND Black Lives Matter would explicitly exclude the *Black* *Woman* on a small three-person panel... oh Ayo lowkey saved everyone is that
