Ridley Scott, the British director famous for Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator and The Martian, has said he would never direct a superhero movie.
Scott conceded that Blade Runner – the 1982 sci-fi starring Harrison Ford – is not wholly dissimilar to today’s superhero films, but that it boasted elements that they lack.
Scott is currently putting the finishing touches to Alien: Covenant, a follow-up to 2013’s Prometheus and a prequel to 1979’s Alien.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Scott, 79, said the genre is “not my kind of thing”.
