In the meantime, Scott is still making non-superhero movies that people are pretty excited about, including the upcoming Alien: Covenant.
Scott’s new remarks echo things he’s said in the past about his reluctance to take on comic book movies because of the difficulty of translating the source material to the big screen.
Like Steven Spielberg before him, Scott is highly dismissive of the superhero genre in general and that fact alone is possibly a good reason why studios should stop offering him the opportunity to make comic book movies.
Scott’s new remarks do make it seem like he’s grown a little bit frustrated with the number of superhero films in theaters nowadays.
