James Cameron has nothing but negative comments to make about superhero movies? Not so much after all. While his criticism of Marvel was widespread around the time of Avatar 2’s release, with many media outlets quick to restart the machine as soon as he stepped behind the mic, the filmmaker is a bit more moderate these days.
Evidence: The director spoke highly of one of the MCU’s characters. And not just any, because it is the big villain of Avengers – Infinity War (and the first three phases) that convinced a large part of the public. Including James Cameron.
“I can relate to Thanos”– he said in an interview time. “I think his solution was pretty viable. The problem was, though, no one was going to volunteer to be part of the missing half.”
Is it thanks to the worldwide success of Avatar 2 ($2.267 billion for a film, the highest-grossing of all time in France) that it has put water in the wine for a genre that dominates the box office?
However, James Cameron also went back on his comments about Wonder Woman, who he called an “object icon” in 2017.
“I have no problem with Wonder Woman. I love the movie.”– he says today. “What I missed at the time was that it was okay for a woman to want to be beautiful and well-dressed, not for the male gaze, but for herself when she looks in the mirror. . . . Time. Life is about people coming around, people leaving them, and things getting better.” , if we talk about it.”
Let a woman do Batman. We can discuss there.
“It was necessary for a female director to make a big action movie, even Kathryn Bigelow He did this for some time. He would turn down any superhero movie offered to him if the lead character was a woman. And I think that’s a healthier view. Why couldn’t a woman lead male characters? Let a woman do Batman. We can talk there.”
Will this message reach the ears of another James, Gunn, as DC is currently prepping The Brave and the Bold , the first adventure of Batman (and his son Damian Wayne, aka Robin) in their new shared universe?
