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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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