Vince Cassel is no stranger to franchises after starring in the Oceans movies and Jason Bourne, but he recently dipped his toes into the sci-fi realm with HBO's Westworld. Asked by Inverse whether he's interested in potentially boarding a superhero project, the actor was quick to point out that the genre isn't one he really identifies with as an actor.
"Honestly, these are not movies I watch anymore," he explained. "When they came up with the technology and the fact that suddenly Iron Man or Spider-Man could look real and not tacky in the special effects, I was interested. Then, it became normal. I was a big fan of the comics at the time when I was a kid. Nowadays, I think these are movies for kids, really."
"And even though I still have a part of me who's a kid, I would say no. I wouldn't watch it."
However, Cassel didn't completely close the door on potentially boarding a Marvel or DC Comics project, and explained that he would only star in one that "doesn't look like a movie for kids."
"Maybe if you had a great villain and it's done with by somebody who's really intelligent and talented enough to give it a twist, so it doesn't look like a movie for kids, then maybe I would do it," Cassel said. "But otherwise, no. The few approaches that I had, I felt like it would have been a long time commitment for something that I wouldn't even watch to the end."
