Superhero movie haters only ever seem to talk about moviegoers ultimately becoming bored with the genre, and while the next few (very busy) years promise to be a big test for these films, they're currently going from strength to strength. In the video above, Chris Evans weighs in on the subject, and it's fair to say that he sums up the whole thing pretty perfectly. So long as these movies continue to evolve and adapt to the ever changing tastes of audiences, there's really no reason why we won't be enjoying Captain America 10 over a decade from now, right? What do you guys think?
"I certainly think that given the fact that technology has finally advanced, they’re always going to be looking for other films to match their technological accomplishments. Any film that can incorporate these larger-than-life characters and fantastical locations and plots, the technology wants to prove they can do it so whether it’s superhero film or fantasy in general, that’s going to surge for a while.
In terms of superhero in general, existing properties that we know and love, it’s going to be a matter of the tone they strike. You could look at Jason Bourne as a superhero. You could take any superhero movie and if you ground it enough, if you make it real enough—that’s what I think [Captain America: The Winter Soldier directors Joe and Anthony Russo] do really well. Certain superhero movies feel like “superhero movies.” Russo movies almost feel like human stories with a little bit of superhero sprinkled in. So you might get exhausted of the larger-than-life powers I suppose, but as long as the filmmakers keep on reinventing the flavor and the approach and the tone, audiences are going to still go."
