The Devil Wears Prada 2 star Meryl Streep shares her take on ‘marvel-ized’ movies
Meryl Streep explained her stance on “marvel-ized” movies in a recent interview on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show alongside Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt. Streep stated that many contemporary films rely on clear-cut heroes and villains. The Oscar winner shared, “I think we tend to Marvel-ize the movies now. We got the villains and we got the good guys, and it’s so boring” (via Variety).
Continuing further, the veteran actress explained, “What’s really interesting about life is that the heroes are flawed and some of the villains are human and interesting and have their own strengths,” she continues. “So that’s what I like about this [film]. It’s messier.”
However, fans on the internet do not seem to agree with The Devil Wears Prada 2 star. One fan commented, “She’s clearly never watched a Marvel project then if that’s her view on it.” A second fan wrote, “LMFAO. I forgot actors sh**ting on Marvel to promote their movie is a thing.” A third fan critiqued in a Miranda Priestly tone, “Criticizing Marvel movies? To promote a non-superhero movie? Groundbreaking.”
A fourth fan chimed in, “Yeah, she hasn’t watched a single Marvel movie. This Marvel hate has become absurd now.” A fifth fan penned, “Maybe if she actually watched the movies, she’d know that we already have that.”
In a separate interview with Today, Streep revealed how she re-negotiated her salary for the sequel. The 76-year-old star shared, “They called me up, and they made an offer, and I said, ‘No, not going to do it’. I knew it was going to be a hit, and I wanted to see if I doubled my ask … And they went right away and said, ‘Sure.’ I thought, I’m 50–60 [years old] — it took me this long to understand that I could do that! They needed me, I felt. I was ready to retire. That was a lesson.”
