In today’s cinematic landscape littered with superhero films, accounts from actors about their on-set experiences offer a fascinating insight into the industry. Michael Keatonwhose career includes iconic roles, from vulture In the universe Wonder has Batmanshared his feeling of confusion during his cameo appearance in “ Morbius“. He appeared at the end of the film, teleported by the magic of Doctor Strange In No way homeIn the universe Sony (in a very inconsistent way). Podcast guest Happy, sad, confused from Josh Horowitz, Keaton revealed that he had no idea what his character was doing in that film’s post-credits scene, highlighting the opacity that sometimes surrounds these productions.
” NO. No idea. Nothing. Zero. And even they couldn’t really explain it. They said to me, “Look, let me explain,” and I was like, “Okay, I really don’t understand what you’re talking to me about or who some of these characters are” (…). But it was complicated because obviously they were trying to prepare a little bit for the future. They said, “This is how it’s going to work, this is how it’s going to happen here,” and I said, ” Okay, I’ll do it, let’s try it.” »
This feeling of loss is not an isolated incident. Teyonah ParrisFor example, he recalled a similar experience while filming the post-credits scene of ” The wonders“, highlighting a trend in which actors perform scenes without understanding the full context or future implications for the shared universe.
The situation of Keatonalmost laughing at his confusion is an indication of the challenges presented by attempts to complexly intertwine multiverses, such as the recent failures of ” Morbius » and other ambitious projects. The difficulty of preparing the future of these cinematic universes without losing the actors and the audience seems to be a great danger.
Comments from Keatonas well as those of other actors shed critical light on the way certain superhero films are made and marketed. The relative failures of “ Morbius« , « Madam Web“And others at the box office reflect a certain audience fatigue with an overabundance of similar content, often at the expense of narrative clarity and originality. THE Spider-Verse of the universe Sony is already condemned to die. I want to be a universe shared by the universe’s greatest renegades Spider-Man, the whole thing gave birth to several mice. After sabotage Poison And Bloodbath, Morbius is a family friendly vampire and Madam Web a feature film that appears to have been made by an AI.
As the film industry continues to navigate this era of superheroes, the experience of Keaton provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of consistency and clear communication in the development of these complex worlds. Future projects like “ Kraven the Hunter ” And ” Poison 3 » Will they succeed in reversing the trend or will they follow the path taken by their predecessors? Only time can tell.
