Superhero Movies Are Not My Kind Of Thing Says Ridley Scott

The renowned English film director and producer Ridley Scott, popularly known for his sci-fi movies like The Martian, Blade Runner and Alien, says he is not an admirer of Superhero movies. The legendary director says he hardly finds any proper story in superhero movies nowadays.

Ridley Scott also states that he has turned down numerous offers to direct comic book superhero based movies as he doesn't quite relate himself to that genre.

"Superhero movies are not my kind of thing - that's why I've never really done one. I've been asked several times, but I can't believe in the thin, gossamer tight-rope of the non-reality of the situation of the superhero." Said Ridley Scott in an interview.

He continued, "I've done that kind of movie - 'Blade Runner' really is a comic strip when you think about it, it's a dark story told in an unreal world. You could almost put Batman or Superman in that world, that atmosphere, except I'd have a f***ing good story, as opposed to no story!"

Ridley Scott is not only hostile with superhero movies, he also feels that a shift of paradigm into the lucrative superhero genre nowadays is also causing harm to the movie industry as a whole.

"I want to keep doing cinema and I hope it doesn't affect those of us who still keep making smart films. I'm hoping it doesn't affect me," added Ridley Scott.
