Ridley Scott is no fan of comic book movies.
The director of the upcoming Alien: Covenant told press that heâs not into supehero flicks at all (I was told he turned down Justice League years ago).
âSuperhero movies are not my kind of thing â thatâs why Iâve never really done one,â Ridley Scott said, reports Digital Spy. â[Iâve been asked] several times, but I canât believe in the thin, gossamer tight-rope of the non-reality of the situation of the superhero.â
Ridley Scott goes on to state that heâs already done a comic book movie of sorts with Blade Runner, and then drops an f-bomb about Batman vs. Superman not having a good story.
âIâve done that kind of movie â Blade Runner really is a comic strip when you think about it, itâs a dark story told in an unreal world,â Scott said. âYou could almost put Batman or Superman in that world, that atmosphere, except Iâd have a f**king good story, as opposed to no story!â
Itâs not just comic book movies that Ridley Scott is down on as he says all movies as of late arenât that good.
âCinema mainly is pretty bad,â Scott said and admitted heâs âconcernedâ for its future prospects. âI want to keep doing cinema and I hope it doesnât affect those of us who still keep making smart films. Iâm hoping it doesnât affect me.â
Ridley Scottâs Alien: Covenant has a May 19, 2017 release, and Scott is also serving as producer on Blade Runner 2049.
