Two veteran actors, one a famed Oscar winner the other an iconic action star, have responded to some Marvel-related discussion involving them. First up, Russell Crowe was asked about negative comments that Dakota Johnson made about working on a comic book movie during her “Madame Web” press tour. Both Johnson and Crowe star in Marvel-Sony films.
She in ‘Web’ which was famously slammed by critics and bombed at the box-office when it released back in February. He stars in the upcoming “Kraven the Hunter” film and recently, as part of his profile, was told her comments about struggling with a big-studio superhero movie and art ‘made by committee’. He was then asked what his experience was on his own Sony-Marvel project.
He says: “I don’t want to make any comments to what anybody else might have said or what their experience is, but...
you’re bringing out the impish quality of my humour. [Laughs.] You’re telling me you signed up for a Marvel movie, and some f—– universe for cartoon characters.
.. and you didn’t get enough pathos? Not quite sure how I can make this better for you.
It’s a gigantic machine, and they make movies at a certain size...
. These are jobs. You know: here’s your role, play the role.
If you’re expecting this to be some kind of life-changing event, I just think you’re here for the wrong reasons.” Meanwhile actor Wesley Snipes, who famously played Marvel hero Blade across three films from 1998-2005, appears to have respond.
