Why Amanda Seyfried Has So Far Refused to Suit Up for a Superhero Movie

The present dominance of superhero motion pictures over popular culture is not like something seen earlier than. Whereas as soon as comedian e-book motion pictures have been seen as a lesser artwork kind, in the present day most actors are raring to headline their very own superhero film or sequence. However Amanda Seyfried will not be amongst those that need to take a dive right into a superhero half. In an interview with AP, the actress defined why she has needed to actively push towards getting forged in such sorts of roles.

"I don't imagine there are many agents who don't feel like their clients wouldn't benefit from a big superhero movie. I've really had to push against it. I get it. I think superhero movies are wonderful, and you can be transported to this incredible world that doesn't exist. And it's really good for kids, I think, as they're getting older. But I have no interest in being that physical, and being that much of a trip to my imagination every day. I'm not a fan of green screen. I'm just not. I want to have fun when I'm working. And so that has been that cloud that's been looming over me for my entire career, and I don't know when it'll ever go away. But it's okay because at the end of the day, my agents trust me and they know that it's not for everybody."

This isn't the primary time that Seyfried has needed to tackle her absence from the superhero style. Previously, the actress has revealed that she was in line to be forged as Gamora in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Seyfried admitted that she didn't take the function as a result of she couldn't think about a movie primarily based on such an outlandish idea ever turning into profitable.

"I didn't want to be part of the first Marvel movie that bombed. I said, 'Who wants to see a movie about a talking tree and a raccoon?' Which is clearly - I was very wrong. The script was great, it was all based on not wanting to be 'that guy'. Because if you're the star of a giant movie like that, and it bombs, Hollywood does not forgive you. I've seen that happen to people and it was a giant, giant fear. I thought, is it worth it?"

Whereas Seyfried seems fairly agency in her insistence that she's going to by no means seem in a superhero undertaking, future affords would possibly nicely change her thoughts. In spite of everything, Joaquin Phoenix and Ethan Hawke have been famously reluctant to partake within the style at one time. However then the previous gained an Oscar for Joker, whereas Hawke has been confirmed to be taking part in the function of the principle villain within the upcoming Moon Knight sequence.

Regardless of not taking part within the superhero film growth, Amanda Seyfried has carved out a particular place in Hollywood, showing in such traditional motion pictures as Imply Ladies, Les Miserables, and Mamma Mia!. Most not too long ago, the actress performed a number one function in David Fincher's Mank. Her function was praised by critics and is even producing Oscar buzz.
