Oh noez. Ridley Scott is facing backlash from Marvel fans after calling superhero films “boring as shit” in a new interview. The director has once again slammed superhero films, this time during a interview with Deadline. Scott is currently promoting his two new projects, the upcoming House of Gucci, and his recently released, The Last Duel.

The topic of superhero films was brought up by Scott during a question about Kubrick’s approach to Napoleon. “Almost always, the best films are driven by the characters, and we’ll come to superheroes after this if you want, because I’ll crush it. I’ll fucking crush it. They’re fucking boring as shit.”

Asked for his main “gripe” with superhero films, the director responded: “Their scripts are not any fucking good. I think I’ve done three great scripted superhero movies. One would be Alien with Sigourney Weaver. One would be fucking Gladiator, and one would be [Blade Runner]."

He continued: “They’re superhero movies. So, why don’t the superhero movies have better stories? Sorry. I got off the rail, but I mean, c’mon. They’re mostly saved by special effects, and that’s becoming boring for everyone who works with special effects, if you’ve got the money.”
