Tom Hanks Critiques Superhero Movies for Lack of Storytelling Depth

The actor argues that technological advances have overshadowed narrative quality in the superhero genre.

  • Tom Hanks believes superhero films are suffering from 'superhero fatigue' due to over-reliance on visual spectacle rather than compelling stories.
  • Hanks notes that while technology now allows filmmakers to create visually stunning adaptations, audiences are increasingly seeking meaningful narratives.
  • Recent box office flops such as 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' and 'The Flash' highlight the challenges faced by the genre.
  • Despite some failures, successes like 'Deadpool & Wolverine' demonstrate that well-crafted stories can still capture audience interest.
  • Hanks has never been approached by Marvel or DC, emphasizing his focus on projects that align with his creative interests.
