What’s more, the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is so overwhelming that every other studio seems to have shifted focus to massive franchises and interconnected movies.
David Fincher is far from the first to be critical of the current situation in Hollywood that sees Marvel at the top of the heap.
Nobody would accuse the films produced by Marvel to be the deepest or most intellectually stimulating movies being produced today, but their popularity cannot be denied.
If that’s the sort of entertainment that you want to make as a director, then you’re in great shape, but if, as Fincher says, there’s a lot of people who are looking for something else, those opportunities seem to be on the decline.
