Kristen Stewart will only do a Marvel movie if Greta Gerwig directs
Kaitlyn Huamani March 28, 2024 Marvel movies have boasted
The
Marvel Cinematic Universe is fueled by
A-list
actresses actorsfrom including Natalie Portman , Charlize Theron , Scarlett Johansson
,
Brie Larson,
and
,
most recently,
Dakota Johnsonand Sydney Sweeney
. But dont expect Kristen Stewart to join the starry group anytime soon.
On an episode of the podcast Not Skinny b ut Not Fat, Stewart said that although she is a
y
es-man, she
doesnt think shed wouldn’t
want to be a part of the superhero
film juggernaut franchise
.
I will likely never do a Marvel movie, she said. That sounds like a fing nightmare actually.
Stewart revealed her hesitation to join a Marvel project after she and podcast host
Amanda Hirsch
talked about Dakota Johnsons headline-making press tour for
the studio’s
While she noted that it would be so stupid for her to be picky with projects
she takes on
, she said she gravitates
more
toward
sprojects films
that allow for more creative freedom and expression.
The system would have to change. Youd have to put so much money and so much trust into one person, and I think Dakota mentioned this
,
as well, it doesnt happen, Stewart said. What ends up happening is the algorithmic, weird experience where you cant feel personal at all about it.
But maybe the world changes…
Madame Web was a box office disappointment, and Johnson herself
has
said
she hasnt seen the film on during
the press tour
that she hadnt seen the film., which Stewart commented on, calling the publicity for the film a long haul.Stewart did say that maybe the world changes, and that shes not completely closed off to the idea.
She added one condition that would get her to sign on to a Marvel
project pic
without hesitation: if director
Greta Gerwigwas were
in charge.
If Greta Gerwig asked me to do a Marvel movie, then I would do it, she said, laughing. She later added that shes a super, super, duper fan of Barbie.
Shes my favorite. Im obsessed with her, she said.
Stewart also reflected on her previous roles during the podcast interview, noting that she would have broken up with Twilight character Edward Cullen
played by her then-boyfriend, Robert Pattinson
if she was in her character Bellas position.
He was trying to sort of control whether or not she made choices for herself, and that I would have broken up with him immediately, she said. You gotta let a girl make her own choices.
She also poked fun at the Twilight series, saying that a drinking game is the best way to watch those movies.
Stewarts latest project, Love Lies Bleeding, hit theaters on March 15 after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Stewart
plays stars
opposite
Katy OBrian
in the sexy, genre-bending film.
Director
Rose Glass
told The Times that while shooting the film, Stewart reached a place where she felt she had permission to take some big swings.
The critical response to the movie is overwhelmingly positive, with the Rotten Tomatoes rating at 93%, which Stewart said on the podcast that she is so excited about.
and that she is so proud of Glass.
Its a very odd combo of a lot of different flavors. Its like if you were to go to Baskin
–
Robbins and get rainbow sherbe
r
t and rocky road, Stewart said, adding that the film is hard to describe. Just go see it.
