Career actor answers question with honest opinion about the industry he works in.
He literally said you cant knock it, it is money making. If you are going to debate the artistic integrity I will point you to D23 where they made the very business decision to revert back to the okd recipe people enjoyed of RDJ and the Russos.
You can enjoy the movies, but it is clear tentpoles have gotten bigger and pushed other genres and studios out of the cinema.

I am sure he didn’t mind that X-Men 2 paycheck. Fucking hypocrisy

Yeah that movie he did 20+ years ago that was not related to what he was talking about until a few weeks ago.
It isnt hypocrisy, he isnt saying they shouldnt be made and the people that make them are bad. He is saying there isnt much room for anything else. This comment has some strong victim vibes going on, fact is this genre and cinema in general has leaned heavily into catering to the broadest audience as possible and it has taken more and more from the creatibe elements with each passing entry.
Even casting choices are less creative now because they have to cater to a broader corporate strategy.
