  1. lol, Wasn’t he talking smack about Love and Thunder like a week ago?!

  2. A lot just see it as an easy cheque.

    Sir Anthony Hopkins for example.

    >”If you’re sitting in front of a green screen, it’s pointless acting it,” Sir Anthony told the New Yorker.

    >”They put me in armour; they shoved a beard on me,” he told the magazine.

    > “Sit on the throne, shout a bit.”

  3. What if the movies deserve critique and they’re humble about it?

    God, I hate how badly headline writing is treated these days. I don’t need to bother clicking to know he probably had more nuance in his statement

  4. He’s been doing this for 13 years. Glad he still sticks up for the franchise.

  5. I actually hate it when actors rip on the movies they starred in, even if they are genuinely terrible movies. A lot of time and effort went into that film. Sure, it may not have worked, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t some real artistry in that process.

  6. God I’m so done with those movies. I completely agree with Scorsese.

  7. He’s one of the most well paid actors in Marvel with 6 movies under his belt. So obviously he doesn’t have a lot to criticize and wants to stay in their good graces.

  8. Didn’t he just slam his last marvel movie saying he fucked around on set to much?

  9. So when Disney’s contractual stranglehold over your every thought and deed expires, you’re not allowed to voice your real opinion? Nah.

    I will agree that trashing your film while on the promotional circuit though, or acting completely uninterested like Dakota Johnston is bad form. The public appearances are part of the gig, and if you don’t play ball, you’re not doing your job.

  10. It’s okay to be nuanced. I get it if madam web sucked and you say “we didn’t give the character what the deserved” but following it up with “but it was great working with the cast and crew and everyone worked hard to bring something to life” instead of just talking shit

  11. Likewise it’s pathetic seeing actors who slag superhero films but constantly fail.

    Emily Blunt has famously slagged off Marvel but has tried to ride the coat-trails of famous IPs and directors, only to be trapped in supporting roles.

    She was the lead of the recent film Fall Guy and it utterly flopped. Maybe a superhero film would have helped her appeal after all?

  12. He has a point. Don’t bite the hand that feeds.

  13. I get what hes saying and to a certain degree I agree. I feel like its totally fine for actors to look back on their work and give an opinion but its a total dick move to shit on the movie when its in theaters because its bombing. Dakota and Sydney shitting all over Madame Web cause it failed is pretty classless.

    As far as the iconic directors go they are 100% right superheroes have become a cancer to film as a whole.

  14. >‘We don’t get paid to make the good lines sound good, but to make the bad ones work.’

    That is such an awesome quote.

  15. Didn’t Chris Hemsworth just get done criticizing Thor – love and thunder?

  18. At the end of the day, the job of the actors, directors, writers, etc is to entertain people. I would argue that few franchises have done a better job of that than Marvel. Enough of these movies have been made that the actors just signing on now know what they’re getting into. If they can’t act in front of the green screen, they shouldn’t be taking the job. They wanted the paycheck and the push that comes with being in a film that at one time was a guaranteed success (that’s not quite the case anymore these days) but still want to hold themselves to an acclaim that they feel is higher than what these movies offer. I find attitudes like that to be so annoying and I haven’t even watched a single Marvel movie since Endgame.

  19. Humility goes a long way! And so does being incredibly ridiculously handsome.

  20. I think Marvel movies are pretty bad, but I agree with him here. You did it. Have some pride in it.

  21. There’s a really good quote from Patton Oswald that says something like

    Anyone who has even made a short film knows filmmaking is hard and regardless of how bad a film is at least that person went and actually made something.

    I think it’s when he was asked about Space Cop which is fair enough. It’s a dreadful film but the amount of effort behind it you can’t help but at least have some respect for it

  23. SLAMS
    BASHES
    RIPS
    OBLITERATES
    DECIMATES
    SHREDS

    Why is it always these stupid buzzwords
