Paul Dano Says This ‘Big Misstep’ Led To Superhero Movie Fatigue
HuffPost
“The Batman” star explained why the concept is “a welcome moment” for the film industry.
“The Batman” star Paul Dano says the emergence of the word “content” was the “big misstep” for the film industry that may have led to superhero fatigue.
The actor, who plays Riddler in the Matt Reeves-directed movie, weighed in on the concept after recent films such as “Madame Web,” “The Marvels” and “The Flash” had less-than-super outings at the box office.
“There are enough comic book movies where you just know what you’re gonna get,” Dano told The Independent.
“Reading the script for The Batman, you knew it was a real film. Every sentence… that’s just [writer/director] Matt Reeves.”
Dano, whose “Love & Mercy” performance helped inspire Reeves to write Riddler with the actor in mind, added that the fatigue has led to what he called an “interesting moment” where people ask, “OK — what now?”
