David Fincher Takes a Dig At Marvel Studios Movies
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a massive fan base, but like all things in pop culture, it has its share of haters too. Lots of directors have even openly admitted that they never want to helm a Marvel movie. Now, we can add iconic filmmaker David Fincher to the list of those unwilling to work with Kevin Feige.
During a recent interview to promote his new Netflix series Mindhunter, Fincher took aim at Marvel Studios for being responsible for not allowing a new wave of storytelling to develop in the current Hollywood system.
"Look, there’s a very large talent pool of people who are- don’t feel there’s much for them in terms of sustenance working for Marvel. And I think that if we can make a playground for them that is thoughtful, adult, interesting, complex, challenging stories and figure out ways to pull them into it, there’s a chance at something that isn’t lassoed and hogtied by three acts. And there’s something else that doesn’t have to be 22-minute half hour or have a cliffhanger. I think it is an exciting time."
That might make some Marvel fan's blood boil. Marvel Studios is known for taking a lot of creative control over its movies and even though its worked out quite well for them, it does mean directors are unable to be as creative as they may actually want to be (hence why Edgar Wright left Ant-Man).
What do you guys think of what Fincher said, agree or disagree?
