Russell Crowe Suggests Lowering Expectations of Superhero Movies: ‘It’s Work’
Not long ago, after the lackluster result of Madame Web at the box office, Dakota Johnson expressed his opinion regarding his first experiment in the superhero scene, stating that these films often seem to be the result of the work “by committee”. Russell Crowe, who over the years has developed a certain familiarity with the genre, expressed his opinion to the microphones of GQ UK:
I don’t want to comment on what someone else may have said or their experience, but… the naughtier part of my humor feels called into question. You’re telling me you signed on for some Marvel movie and some universe populated by comic book characters… and you didn’t get enough pathos? I’m not entirely sure I can improve this situation.
Crowe, after all, knows a lot about superheroes. He experimented on the DC front with The man of Steel directed by Zack Snyder and then also in the Marvel universe with Thor: Love and Thunder with Chris Hemsworth. Soon he will also be at the cinema with Kraven – The Hunter with Aaron Taylor-Johnsonpromoting a new chapter of Spider-Verse by Sony-Marvel. Having therefore gained strong experience in the sector, Russell Crowe wanted to share some advice: you should adjust expectations.
It’s a gigantic machine and films of a certain size are made… it’s work. You know, this is your role, so play it. If you’re expecting this to be some kind of life-changing event, I think you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
