Why Doesn’t Seth Rogen Want to Join the Superhero Battalion?
The actor has time and again stated his disinterest in joining either of the universes, be it MCU or DC. That doesn’t stem from any personal vendetta but rather his general disinterest in the superhero saga as a whole. During an interview withPolygonin the mid 2023, the actor revealed,
“Honestly, probably fear,–We really have a pretty specific way we work; me and Evan [Goldberg] have been writers for 20 years at this point. It’s a fear of the process, honestly. And I say that knowing nothing about the process. There are a lot of Marvel things I love. It’s mostly a fear of how would we plug into the system they have in place, which seems like a very good system, and a system that serves them very well,”
He further doubled down in theTotal Film Magazineinterview by saying,
“I think that Kevin Feige is a brilliant guy, and I think a lot of the filmmakers he’s hired to make these movies are great filmmakers,–But as someone who doesn’t have children… It is [all] kind of geared toward kids, you know? There are times where I will forget. I’ll watch one of these things, as an adult with no kids, and be like, ‘Oh, this is just not for me.’”
The closest he has come to a superhero saga is being the executive producer on the Amazon Prime seriesThe Boys. And from his comments, it seems that he would most likely love to keep it that way. Although the actor has indicated he loves certain elements about the MCU, fans are hoping it’s enough to make him change his mind. At the end of the day, he simply put that those kinds of films are just not for him.
