A lot of the news I usually post here on CBM is actors and actresses expressing their interest in some sort of superhero role. I'm sure you all remember the numerous unknowns who put their names forward for Captain America and Spider-Man, while bigger named stars are associated with roles like that on an almost daily basis.
That's what makes the following bit of news a little strange. Reese Witherspoon (who I've often seen cast as one character or another over in "Fan Fic") told
Entertainment Weekly that she is not interested in appearing in any future superhero movies, as there are no roles which suit her age!
"The movies that are being made feel different. There are a lot of really, really, really big movies about robots and things - and there's not a part for a 34-year-old woman in a robot movie. I've never done the superhero movie. That doesn't interest me too much."
What do you guys thinks? Is there a certain age that an actor/actress reaches that makes then unsuitable to play a superhero or star in an action movie? Robert Downey Jr is surely a perfect example of this rule not applying, but what about for a woman? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
