Paul Dano Says Superhero Fatigue Is a ‘Welcome Moment’ That Will Hopefully ‘Breathe New Life’ Into Comic Book Movies: ‘Quantity Over Quality’ Is a ‘Big Misstep’
Paul Dano says Hollywood went wrong by prioritizing "content," where quantity matters more than quality.
Paul Dano is familiar with the comic book movie genre thanks to his acclaimed performance as Riddler opposite Robert Pattinson in “The Batman.” The Matt Reeves-directed tentpole was a box office hit with $772 million worldwide. That’s a mighty sum for the superhero genre, which took more than a few punches last year as entires like “Shazam: Fury of the Gods,” “The Flash,” “The Marvels,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” either disappointed at the box office or outright flopped. As for Dano’s future in the genre, it’s unclear at this time whether or not his Riddler will return for Reeves’ “The Batman Part II.” The film is already set for release on Oct. 3, 2025 from Warner Bros.
