Nicolas Cage Says the MCU “Is Becoming a Well-Funded and Glorified WWE”
The actor, who recently starred in Prime Video's 'Spider-Noir,' said he "would like to see it [MCU] get back to telling the stories and not just cutting to the wrestling match."
Nicolas Cage has expressed his thoughts on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, likening it to a "well-funded and glorified WWE." He made these comments at Fan Expo Dallas, according to Variety and IGN. Cage stated that he loves the MCU, but believes it has become too focused on action, with many gifted actors wearing "ridiculous outfits" and preparing for fight scenes.
Cage's critique has gained traction on social media, with some people agreeing with him and others questioning his perspective given his own involvement in comic book projects, as reported by Variety. IGN notes that Cage has starred in several comic book movies and TV shows, including Ghost Rider, Kick-Ass, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where he voiced Spider-Man Noir.
