BLADE Actor Stephen Dorff On "Garbage" Superhero Movies: "Nobody's Remembering BLACK ADAM"

Stephen Dorff has taken some pretty harsh swipes at Marvel/superhero movies in the past, and the Blade actor really outdoes himself in this new interview!

Say what you will about Stephen Dorff - the guy is not afraid to speak his mind!

Back in 2021, the actor took aim at the superhero genre (Marvel Studios' Black Widow, in particular) when asked what sort of projects he'd be interested in appearing in.

"I’m embarrassed for Scarlett," he said of the film's star. "I’m sure she got paid five, seven million bucks, but I’m embarrassed for her. I don’t want to be in those movies. I really don’t. I’ll find that kid director that’s gonna be the next Kubrick and I’ll act for him instead."

We're not sure if he managed to find the next Kubrick (his latest project is bizarre sci-fi horror flick Divinity from first-time director Eddie Alcazar), but he is back on his anti-superhero movie buzz!

While speaking to the Daily Beast, Dorff needed very little prompting to launch into another rant about "garbage" mainstream movies.

"I think Divinity should be bought by the majors, and if the majors were smart—if DC or any of these companies were doing cool things—they would look for the next Eddie Alcazar, because that’s the future. Not making Black Adam and worthless garbage over and over again [laughs]."

Later in the interview, Dorff - who played the villain in the original Blade - was asked which other genres interest him, and responded by taking a swipe at the upcoming Marvel Studios reboot, and Black Adam (again) - which he admits he hasn't even seen.

"I love all kinds of movies. If comic-book movies 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, who’s obviously a genius…when they were interesting, like when Norrington did Blade, and Guillermo [del Toro] was [frick]ing around in it. But 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."

To be fair, he'd probably find quite a few people who'd agree with his assessment of the recent DC Comics adventure!

What do you guys make of Dorff's comments? Do you get the impression that he may have had a negative experience with one of the major studios and this is simply a case of sour grapes? Be sure to share your thoughts down below.
