It's no secret that Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was massacred by critics on release. But what does franchise Oscar-winning star Jeremy Irons had to say about it? When confronted by the fact that his movie got a ruthless kicking by critics, he said, "Deservedly so. I mean it took £800 million, so the kicking didn’t matter but it was sort of overstuffed…" He went on to add, "It was very muddled. I think the next one will be simpler. The script is certainly a lot smaller, it’s more linear," offering some hope that the next DCEU film could perhaps be a littler better. As for what's in it for him he frankly said, "I’m tied into The Batman at the minute [the next instalment, Justice League Part One, is due next year], which is nice because it’s a bit of income… Not that I need a bit of income but it’s nice to keep ticking over."

 
Do you think Jeremny Irons should follow the company line and defend his film against the critics? Sound off in the comments section below.

Okay, Jeremy. I'll trust you, since you're sticking around.

@Quicker - LOL. He's sticking around for the Money. It's obvious he doesn't give a s**t about the franchise.

Woah, didn't expect him to say that kind of stuff about the movie.

@DeusExSponge - There's no defending this movie at this point. IMHO.

@KingLeonidas - I guess, just thought he'd be a bit more indifferent about the whole situation.

@DeusExSponge - He IS indifferent. He doesn't give two f**ks.

You're showing he occasionally stars in crap films.
Isn't that kind of the point about BvS?
