Chris Evans says superhero movies can live on if they are “real enough”

September 8, 2015 by Tom Beasley

Chris Evans has spoken about the future of superhero movies in the wake of comments from Steven Spielberg this week, who said that comic book movies will eventually go the way of the western.

“It’s going to be a matter of the tone they strike,” Evans told Collider at the press day for his directorial debut Before We Go.

He added: “You could take any superhero movie and if you ground it enough, if you make it real enough — that’s what I think [Joe and Anthony Russo] do really well.

“Certain superhero movies feel like “superhero movies” but Russo movies almost feel like human stories with a little bit of superhero sprinkled in.

“So you might get exhausted of the larger-than-life powers I suppose, but as long as the filmmakers keep on reinventing the flavor and the approach and the tone, audiences are going to still go.”

What’s your position on this debate about the future of superhero films?
