While he admits he probably would be “fucking happy and totally love them” in his 20s, nowadays, he’s “not quite as excited” about them.

He noted that his main issues is that Marvel flicks seem to be the “entire representation of this era of movies” and that there’s simply “not really much room for anything else.”

While he says he’s not trying to rag on the films, Quentin admits that it’s the “franchise characters that become a star,” not the actors.
