Chris Hemsworth's Thor in Thor Ragnarok and Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Chris Hemsworth has joined several other high-profile actors and filmmakers who have defended superhero movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Universe. Adapted from comic books that have been a staple of pop culture since the 1940s, live-action superhero movies have brought fantastical, otherworldly and relatable heroes and villains to mass audiences for decades.
It felt harsh, and it bothers me, especially from heroes. It was an eye-roll for me, people bashing the superhero space. Those guys had films that didn’t work too, we all have. When they talked about what was wrong with superheroes, I thought, cool. Tell that to the billions who watch them. Were they all wrong? And cinema-going did not change because of superheroes, but because of smartphones and social media.
