- Ruffalo talked about the so-called “stigma” of working with Marvel and spoke about an actor-who he didn’t name-who asked him his advice because he had been offered a Marvel role but was unsure if he would take it (and it sounds like he didn’t.)
- Ruffalo says the actor asked him if he was ever worried that certain filmmakers would never work with him because he was a Marvel actor. Ruffalo said: “Well, not really.”
- The actor apparently said he knew a few directors who wouldn’t work with Ruffalo because of the Marvel association.
- Here’s the exchange Ruffalo told GQ:
And The Actor said: Well, I can name a few who won’t work with you.
And Ruffalo said: Like who?
And The Actor said: Well, Paul Thomas Anderson won’t work with you.
“I was like, ‘Oh fuck. If there’s ONE person I wanna work with, it’s Paul Thomas Anderson.” Ruffalo howls in the diner. “Well, that SUCKS.”
