What counts as hard drugs exactly?

isn't cinema literally just, a movie? or the act of making and seeing movies?

superhero movies are cinema. if you think they suck, that's another thing. but they're cinema. unless i'm missing something and the word has morphed into a new meaning.

A film can only considered cinema if the director signed the Polanski petition

There's also the issue of job security.

Actors have a hard enough time landing decent roles under even the best circumstances, so getting a gig where it's pretty much guaranteed you'll making a film per year until you either majorly fuck up or retire/die is hard to resist.

Unless you enjoy flipping burgers in between gigs...

Is Dune not a superhero movie? He's literally a great hero with superpowers and a tragic backstory.
No.

I could see him as John Constantine, but that's about it.

Think Xmen's Gambit but not anywhere near as suave and dealing with magic instead of mutant stuff.

He's also not really a hero so much as an antihero.

Or it could have something to do with being locked into six movie contracts and taking away from your artistic freedom

Marvel doesnt do contracts like that anymore where they lock people on, and the actors have basically always had artistic freedom. RDJ defined iron man.

In all honesty, I can't think of a comic book character I'd want Leo to play. Especially not at his age.

I'm sure comic fans could answer this for me, but is there a charming, good-looking, middle-aged, blond-haired villain? I kinda feel like a character like that could exist -- like if Batman felt he needed his own Lex Luthor. But I can't personally think of anyone.

I really can't see him playing a superhero.
I wanted him to play the riddler way back in the dark knight trilogy honestly.

Timothee was already an academy award nominated actor when he was given this advice.
Its kinda weird that any criticism or side eye to superhero movies has marvel fans in such a tizzy. The MCU is extremely successful yet people feel the need to get upset every time when someone else is not into it.

No. Plenty of actors ain't doing cape flicks.

That also has nothing to do with his statement.

Yeah, the reddit comments was thinking it's this. Maguire's somewhat successful, but I don't think anyone will deny that his career definitely dropped off after Spider-Man 3.

I mean, tbf, the whole "career-drop-off" moments are a little unfair. An actor like Tobey is always going to be able to find work if he really wants to. Most actors are only going to get to be in one big franchise as the lead guy, that's just the nature of the job. Dwayne's are the exception to the rule. For every big budget movie, Tobey still has to compete against every other widely known actor for spots.

In a lot of "serious" actors eyes, a movie that sucks but takes chances is better than a movie that will be popular because it follows a successful formula by rote.
