Kristen Stewart Says She'll Never Star In A Marvel Movie Except Under One Condition

Kristen Stewart Says She'll Never Star In A Marvel Movie Except Under One Condition

Kristen Stewart has made quite a reputation for herself as an 'actor's actor' post-Twilight and after a miserable experience making Charlie’s Angels, she's shied away from blockbusters.

You can count Kristen Stewart among the Hollywood A-listers who don't seem to enjoy superhero movies. 

Over the years, venerated actors and directors such as Jodie Foster, Jennifer Aniston, Martin Scorsese, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Ridley Scott, and more have all shared their disdain for how superhero films have taken over the film industry.

Foster, who is Stewart's mentor, recently stated, "It’s a phase. It’s a phase that’s lasted a little too long for me, but it’s a phase, and I’ve seen so many different phases.” 

Hopefully people will be sick of it soon. The good ones — like ‘Iron Man,’ ‘Black Panther,’ ‘The Matrix’ — I marvel at those movies, and I’m swept up in the entertainment of it, but that’s not why I became an actor. And those movies don’t change my life. Hopefully there’ll be room for everything else.

During a recent appearance on the Not Skinny, Not Fat Podcast, Stewart revealed that she pretty much feels the same as her mentor, stating that making a superhero movie “sounds like a f–king nightmare, actually.”

She also stated, "I will likely never do a Marvel movie,” before going on to reveal that there was one exception. “If Greta Gerwig asked me to do a Marvel movie, then I would do it.

As for a reason, previously, Stewart revealed that she didn't enjoy her time making 2019 Charlie's Angels, adding that, "I like big movies because I like people to watch them when I’m in them. The system would have to change. … What ends up happening is this algorithmic, weird experience where you can’t feel personal at all about it."

Since 2019, Stewart has made much smaller features, including 2021's Spencer, and the upcoming, Love Lies Bleeding.

She'll next be seen in the quirky sci-fi drama, Love Me, opposite Steven Yeun.

That heavily buzzed indie follows a buoy named Me, and a satellite named Iam, who find love after a catastrophe wipes out humanity.

Of the project, Stewart stated, "Steven and I took on very binary roles, which was very surprising with a movie about identity."

However, she admitted that they did often fall back on social relationship norms. "I felt this desperate girl thing so often, and Steven was so pragmatic about everything. I was like, ‘Oh God, biology exists for sure."

The film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2024, but has not found a distributor yet.

@MuadDib - One thing is for sure...she's proof you don't have to have talent to make it in Hollywood.

@SonOfAGif - When the Twilight movies were in theaters she was fancast quite heavily for pretty much everything, Catwoman, Black Widow, Talia, Sue Storm, Wasp, every motherloving thing. Like I could maybe see her as Catwoman, especially now that Pattinson's Batman. Maybe.

Oh but wait, that's Zoe Kravitz isn't it, LMAO I totally forgot, lol. My bad.

@ObserverIO - Exactly, she's proud of a highly successful but extremely subpar franchise like Twilight but won't do superhero movies? Hmmm. I think someone just told her intellectual filmmakers don't like superhero movies and she went along with it. I mean, commo, Matrix isn't a superhero movie.

@mynameisn0body - She answered a question in an interview. It's not like she put out a press release.

@MotherGooseUPus - exactly. Except for the fact he can fly, has super speed, can stop objects with his mind, and is a master martial artist, he’s in no way a super hero.

She makes some reasonable points, but we are good with her staying away from the genre.
dagenspear
dagenspear - 3/28/2024, 2:35 PM
@mountainman - "we"?
mountainman
mountainman - 3/28/2024, 2:37 PM
@dagenspear - Me and at least one other person makes a we. So I’m sure that there is at least one other person on Earth that agrees with me.
dagenspear
dagenspear - 3/28/2024, 2:40 PM
@mountainman - But if someone and someone else wants her in that, to them that would also make up a we for them.
mountainman
mountainman - 3/28/2024, 2:45 PM
@dagenspear - Cool. People’s opinions differ. I stated mine. My words are not responsible for representing all people on Earth.

If I had said “nobody wants her in the MCU” then your criticism may have merit.
