For several years, Brian Cox has not hesitated to share his thoughts about colleagues such as Johnny Depp, who considers him an actor.excessive“and”bloated“, or the Joaquin Phoenix he claimed to be”Really scary“In Napoleon. But also on current plays, and it’s superhero movies that are currently his focus.
The Heritage star, who was at the Edinburgh International Film Festival this weekend, shared her thoughts on cinema today (via The Hollywood Reporter):”I think cinema is in a very bad state. I think it’s lost its place, in part, because of the grandiose element that Marvel and DC and all that offers. And I think it’s starting to explode, actually. We are losing the topic a little.“
Brian Cox then took the example of Deadpool & Wolverine, which is currently popular worldwide, which is the kind of movie that “brings a lot of money“But it’s not that interesting”In terms of actingAnd the actor speaks with knowledge after being cast in X-Men 2 as William Stryker, the character responsible for Logan’s adamantium skeleton.
Extra work for actors?
Moreover, he admits that his connection with the clawed mutant did not leave lasting memories: “Deadpool meets this guy… the Wolverine I made but forgot about.“And the one who was the main antagonist of the second X-Men movie added:”Besides, when these films are released, I am rarely seen and I never get paid.“

“Making these films became a moment of celebration for certain actors. When you know Hugh Jackman can do a little bit more, Ryan Reynolds… they go that route and it’s a box office success. They make a lot of money. We can’t blame them– concludes Brian Cox, who ironically appears in Sean Levy’s film.
The end credits of Deadpool & Wolverine are actually accompanied by a montage of moments from the making of Fox’s superhero movies before it was acquired by Disney, and we get to see Stryker’s first interpreter (many later) laughing for a second. With Hugh Jackman. But does Brian Cox know about this brilliant look? Nothing is less certain!
Deadpool & Wolverine is in theaters now.
