Zoe Kravtiz had been filming The Batman in London in March when she went into self-quarantine with her husband Karl Glusman amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
But that hasn’t stopped the actress from having her voice be heard in the wake of the killing of African-American George Floyd in the US at the hands of a white Minneapolis police officer as three other officers looked on.
With protests popping up in many of the big cities across the US over the last nine days, Kravitz was among the thousands of people who took to the streets of London to protest his death and police brutality.

That sign read: ‘Dear America, I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do, Black Lives Matter,’ which was a quote from the late James Baldwin, an American-American novelist, poet and activist.
