BATMAN v SUPERMAN Star Henry Cavill Weighs In On So-Called Superhero Movie Fatigue
Only three major superhero movies hit the big screen this year. However, things look set to get a lot busier from 2016 onwards, and haters of the genre just won't shut up about moviegoers becoming fatigued with them. Unsurprisingly, Man From U.N.C.L.E.'s Henry Cavill disagrees...
In the following interview, Henry Cavill is asked how he feels to hear constant complains about too many superhero movies despite the fact that 2015 for example has seen a lot of different types of genres get the spotlight, including the spy one thanks to Kingsman: The Secret Service and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. As you might expect, it's an assessment the British actor doesn't agree with.
"I think it's anything which is prevalent and on top people are going to complain about," the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star says. "At the moment, the superhero genre is the most prevalent genre out there despite the fact that the spy genre is so strong this year. That's just the nature of it. It's one of those decade long genres, the superhero thing, which is going to keep on going and people will complain about it all the time, of course. The secondary genre each year will change, and this year it just so happened to be spy." Do you agree with these comments?
