Seth Rogen has drawn a line on superhero stuff. During a latest interview with Total Film, Rogen confessed he doesn’t love the MCU and its movies.
While that’s hardly an unusual take, what makes it attention-grabbing is that Rogen is a comic book e-book fan and has been concerned in such diversifications as AMC’s Preacher, and is an EP on The Boys and Invincible.
The distinction, Rogen defined, is that the Marvel movies are geared towards youngsters, in his thoughts.
“I think that Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios President) is a brilliant guy,” stated Rogen. “And I think a lot of the filmmakers he’s hired to make these movies are great filmmakers. “But as someone who doesn’t have children… It is [all] kind of geared toward kids, you know? There are times where I will forget. I’ll watch one of these things, as an adult with no kids, and be like, ‘Oh, this is just not for me.’”
Still, Marvel’s field workplace enchantment except for Rogen is fueling curiosity in The Boys, Rogen admits.
“Truthfully, without Marvel, The Boys wouldn’t exist or be interesting,” Rogen stated. “I’m aware of that. I think if it was only Marvel [in the marketplace], it would be bad. But I think it isn’t – clearly. An example I’m always quoting is, there’s a point in history where a bunch of filmmakers would have been sitting around, being like, ‘Do you think we’ll ever make a movie that’s not a Western again? Everything’s a Western! Westerns dominate the f***ing movies. If it doesn’t have a hat and a gun and a carriage, people aren’t going to go see it anymore.’”
