“It’s become really convenient to pick on [Marvel films],” Sebastian Stan said. “And that’s fine. Everyone’s got an opinion. But they’re a big part of what contributes to this business and allows us to have smaller movies as well. This is an artery traveling through the system of this entire machinery that’s Hollywood. It feeds in so many more ways than people acknowledge.”
“Sometimes I get protective of it because the intention is really fucking good,” Stan added at the time. “It’s just fucking hard to make a good movie over and over again.”
Stan’s Bucky/Winter Soldier will be front and center in next year’s Marvel tentpole “Thunderbolts,” and he hopes the character stays around long enough to meet Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom on the big screen.
“I hope I’m in a scene with him,” Stan says. “Is there any other guy that could pull that off? I don’t know, probably not. After ‘Tropic Thunder,’ is there anything that guy can’t do?”
I don’t get how that’s our problem, these people were never his customer base for Marvel films, they wouldn’t see them even if they were the second coming of Citizen Kane. They don’t have magical powers that prevents the majority of his actual customer base from going. He and the rest of the production team have that power, and if they continue to fail to understand why the likes of Thor: Ragnarok is a great film and Thor: Love and Thunder really isn’t, then there is no nope for them.
Its very clearly about money, its the lead quote from him from the OP, and that shows utter contempt from him of his audience.
