Brian Cox has never been one to hold back from sharing his feelings on a given topic or person. (In his 2021 book, Putting the Rabbit in the Hat , alone, Cox critiqued Johnny Depp , Quentin Tarantino and more.) One of the entertainment industry’s most seasoned actors, the Scottish thespian has also shared thoughts on the state of the business.
He most recently shared his take on how superhero movies are having a somewhat negative impact on the landscape. And, to make his point, he laid out some thoughts on one of the biggest 2024 movie releases – Deadpool & Wolverine . What Did Brian Cox Say About Deadpool & Wolverine And How It Relates To Modern Hollywood? At this point, the Emmy-winning Succession star is far from the first actor to have shared less-than-glowing thoughts on comic book flicks.
However, considering that Deadpool & Wolverine opened less than a month ago, he is one of the first actors to use it to illustrate a point about the superhero genre’s impact on Hollywood. The esteemed actor appeared at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, where he discussed his point of view. He’s of the opinion that cinema is suffering due to the major influx of films about costumed do-gooders: What’s happened is that television is doing what cinema used to do.

You’re kind o.
