Stephen Dorff Bashes Marvel's "Worthless Garbage," DC's BLACK ADAM, and The New BLADE Movie

Stephen Dorff is once again out in the press bashing the movies that Marvel Studios produces. The guy doesn’t really hold back his thoughts or feelings, and he obviously has no desire to be a part of these movies.

In 2021 Dorff said that Black Widow looks “like garbage” and that he was “embarrassed” for its leading star, Scarlett Johansson. Now Dorff is back, and he’s doubling down on his comments in an interview with The Daily Beast slamming Marvel for its “worthless garbage.” He said, he’d only want to star in contemporary comic book films if they “were more like when I started when we made Blade, or the few that have been decent over the years, like when Nolan did The Dark Knight and reinvented Batman from Tim Burton.” He went on to say:

“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 [laughs]. 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.”

I mean, sure, Black Adam was pretty bad, I’ll give him that, but Marvel has actually done some cool stuff over the years. That’s just not Dorff’s thing, though, he’s not into “making Black Adam and worthless garbage over and over again.”

The actor went on to take a shot at the new Blade movie because he starred in the original 1999 Blade. He believes that there’s no chance the new movie will be as good as the one he was in:

“Marvel is used to me trashing them anyway. How’s that PG ‘Blade’ movie going for you, that can’t get a director? [laughs] 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.”

Dorff then talks about mainstream movies in general and how he’d “do mainstream movies all the time if they were good.” He then decided to take issue with Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie Oppenheimer saying:

“If the one or two a year that happen don’t, for whatever reason, cast me in a role, I’m not going to lose sleep over it because I wasn’t one of 50 people in ‘Oppenheimer.’ I mean, it looks cool, but to me, unless you’re playing Oppenheimer, I don’t want to be in that movie [laughs]. Unless it’s my friend’s movie, and then I’ll do a scene or pop up.”

But, he wouldn’t do it to build relationships with Nolan and all of those other big actors that are involved? Seems like a great place to make some new friends! Dorff is really closing himself off to opportunities, but I guess it’s clear he doesn’t want those opportunities.
