Quentin Tarantino, the legendary director, fully agrees with Jennifer Aniston that “there are no more movie stars.” Quentin discussed the “Marvel-ization of Hollywood” in an interview, attributing the decline in actor stardom to superhero movies.
Quentin says, “Part of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood is…you have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters. But they’re not movie stars. Right? Captain America is the star. Or Thor is the star. I mean, I’m not the first person to say that. I think that’s been said a zillion times…but it’s like, you know, it’s these franchise characters that become a star.”
“Instead of Chris Evans, Captain America is now the main attraction”
The director stated that instead of Chris Evans, Captain America is now the main attraction. “I’m not even putting them down frankly, to tell you the truth. But that is one of the — the legacy of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood movies.”
However, this doesn’t imply that Quentin Tarantino “hates” Marvel films; rather, he disdains them for being the only thing Hollywood is interested in producing right now.
He also added, “Look, I used to collect Marvel comics like crazy when I was a kid. There’s an aspect that if these movies were coming out when I was in my twenties, I would totally be fucking happy and totally love them. I mean, they wouldn’t be the only movies being made. They would be those movies amongst other movies. But, you know, I’m almost 60, so yeah. No, I’m not quite as excited about them.”
“My only axe to grind against them is they’re the only things that seem to be made,” he says. “And they’re the only things that seem to generate any kind of excitement amongst a fan base or even for the studio making them. That’s what they’re excited about. And so it’s just the fact that they are the entire representation of this era of movies right now. There’s not really much room for anything else. That’s my problem.”
