Nicolas Cage, known for his role in Spider-Noir, expressed his views on the Marvel Cinematic Universe during a fan convention in Texas. He described the franchise as an overfunded spectacle, comparing it to a 'glorified WWE' due to the portrayal of older actors in superhero roles. Cage emphasized that his comments were made with affection for the talented performers involved.
Cage's critique highlights a growing sentiment among filmmakers about the MCU's formulaic approach. As audiences seek more diverse storytelling, keep an eye on upcoming projects that challenge traditional superhero narratives, including Cage's own biopic of John Madden.
