Russell Crowe is no stranger to comic book movies. He played Superman’s biological father Jor-El in Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel,” joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Zeus in “Thor: Love and Thunder” and soon will appear as Kraven’s estranged father in Sony’s “Kraven the Hunter.” So when British GQ recently asked the Oscar winner about his experience making superhero movies in light of Dakota Johnson saying “Madame Web” felt like art “made by a committee,” he playfully laughed off the idea that making such films is in any way deep.
“I don’t want to make any comments to what anybody else might have said or what their experience is, but… you’re bringing out the impish quality of my humor. [Laughs.] You’re telling me you signed up for a Marvel movie, and some fucking universe for cartoon characters… and you didn’t get enough pathos?” Crowe said in response. “Not quite sure how I can make this better for you. It’s a gigantic machine, and they make movies at a certain size…these are jobs. You know: here’s your role, play the role. If you’re expecting this to be some kind of life-changing event, I just think you’re here for the wrong reasons.”
