Paul Dano is sharing his ideas on the superhero fatigue that’s striking the movie sector, calling it a “welcome moment” he believes might lead to much better flicks later on.
Throughout a meeting with The Independent, released online Saturday, the Spaceman star claimed he really feels “quantity over quality” in current years contributed in the existing state of Hollywood, particularly Wonder and DC Studios’ ticket office flops in 2014.
“It’s an interesting moment where everybody has to go like, ‘OK — what now?’ Hopefully from that, somebody either breathes new life into [comic book movies], or something else blossoms which is not superheroes,” he claimed.“I’m sure there will still be some good ones yet to come, but I think it’s kind of a welcome moment.”
The There Will certainly Be Blood star proceeded,“It’s a larger thing, too. As soon as the word ‘content’ came into what we do — meaning making movies or TV — it meant quantity over quality, which I think was a big misstep. And I certainly don’t need that as a viewer or as an artist.”
Though Dano has actually primarily prevented comics hits for most of his acting profession, he ultimately located himself starring as The Riddler in Matt Reeves’ The Batman in 2022. The star confessed that he had not been always interested in the movie category initially, yet that transformed many thanks to Reeves’ writing.
“There are enough comic book movies where you just know what you’re gonna get,” he discussed.“Reading the script for The Batman, you knew it was a real film. Every sentence… that’s just [writer/director] Matt Reeves.”
However the list below year after the Robert Pattinson-led film premiered, the superhero category began to encounter several low and high at package workplace. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Flash, Shazam! Fierceness of the Gods and The Wonders were amongst those that let down, leading to Wonder and DC having to collect yourself.
