Do not anticipate to see Quentin Tarantino behind the digital camera of a superhero film anytime quickly. As enjoyable because it is perhaps to see Captain America dropping f-bombs or Kang the Conqueror getting killed with grotesque blood splatter, the As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood director shot down the concept of directing a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie in a brand new interview with the L.A. Occasions.
“You must be a employed hand to do these issues,” Tarantino stated of helming MCU motion pictures. “I am not a employed hand. I am not on the lookout for a job.”
He added that superhero motion pictures have a “comparable chokehold” on fashionable cinema as studio musicals as soon as did within the ’60s.
ALBERTO PIZZOLI/AFP by way of Getty Pictures; Marvel Studios Quentin Tarantino has no real interest in directing a Marvel Cinematic Universe film.
That is to not say Tarantino has by no means thought-about getting concerned in franchise filmmaking. For some time, he floated the concept of directing a Star Trek movie. In EW’s roundtable dialogue about As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood (which you’ll be able to watch above), Tarantino stated that The Revenant screenwriter Mark L. Smith “wrote a extremely cool script” however “I do not know if I am going to do it or not.” Since then, the concept has fizzled out.
In spite of everything, Tarantino has usually stated that he solely plans on directing ten movies, and As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood was his ninth. Ending his filmmaking profession with a franchise installment would not appear acceptable for such an auteur.
Although there hasn’t been any information about what he does plan for his directing finale, followers of Tarantino’s work can at the moment take pleasure in his writing: His As soon as Upon a Time in Hollywood novelization got here out final yr, and his new e book of criticism Cinema Hypothesis (the premise for the L.A. Occasions interview) is in shops now.
