Stephen Dorff slams superhero movies once again and continues to express his disinterest in the franchise. He went viral for a comment he made in 2021 about theBlack Widowfilm. According to Dorff, it looks “like garbage” and he feels “embarrassed” for Scarlett Johansson.
Now, the actor is back at it again with his cutting remarks. He is no stranger to Marvel films, as he once starred in the 1998Blademovie. Dorff commented that he would only want to join a superhero project if it looks as decent as when they producedBlade. According to the actor, only a few were decently made in the past years, which includes Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knighttrilogy.

Stephen Dorff Slams Superhero Movies, Says Marvel Can’t Make AnotherBlade
Speaking withThe Daily Beast, Stephen Dorff called comic book movies “garbage” and said no one actually remembers them.
“But all this other garbage is just embarrassing, you know what I mean? I mean, God bless them, they’re making a bunch of money, but their movies suck. And nobody’s going to remember them. Nobody’s remembering Black Adam at the end of the day. I didn’t even see that movie, it looked so bad.”
The actor noted that cinema will thrive in the hands of upcoming directors like Eddie Alcazar, who helmed the filmDivinity, which premiered recently at the Sundance Film Festival. Marvel is working on a remake of theBladefranchise to join the MCU. Dorff said:
“How’s that PG ‘Blade’ movie going for you, that can’t get a director? Because anybody who goes there is going to be laughed at by everyone, because we already did it and made it the best. There’s no Steve Norrington out there.”
Stephen Dorff also said that he will only do mainstream movies if they are good, and if he does not get hired in a role, he won’t be bothered. The actor also mentioned that he wouldn’t lose sleep if he did not get to be part of the ensemble cast ofOppenheimer. It looks cool, Dorff said, but unless he plays the lead role, he does not want to join.

Why Superhero Movies Get So Much Hate?
It is not a new trend for actors and directors to express aversion toward superhero movies. The likes of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola, among others, have shared their opinions regarding comic book adaptations.
Studios like Marvel and DC obviously make a lot of money from producing superhero movies. But, at the end of the day, it is all for the enjoyment of fans around the world.
