‘Reacher’ Star Alan Ritchson Calls Out Marvel For ‘Regurgitating’ The Same Stories

Alan Ritchson doesn’t seem to be the biggest fan of Marvel! The Reacher actor called out the studio for playing it safe with the films they put out.

“Like everybody else, I sit back and yawn at Marvel movies regurgitating comic book stories that we’ve seen a thousand times because they’re the only way studios feel like they can make money,” Ritchson spoke in a recent interview with GQ. Alan Ritchson’s comments are interesting given Marvel has been criticized in recent years for straying too far from their formula, putting out lower quality and more experimental properties like Eternals. While their characters are so engrained in pop culture that they’ll never truly go away, with even critics like Alan Ritchson hoping to play heroes like Batman, the next few years may see a decrease in scope and budget for even their biggest properties.
