Mel Gibson certainly didn’t hold anything back while talking about “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” during a recent interview with EW.
Gibson was talking film budgets, and how the budget for his new film “Hacksaw Ridge” was $40 million. He then got to talking about superhero films and their enormous budgets.
“I look at them and scratch my head. I’m really baffled by it. I think there’s a lot of waste, but maybe if I did one of those things with the green screens I’d find out different,” Gibson said. “It seems to me that you could do it for less…”
When talking about the massive budgets that most superhero movies work with, Gibson took aim specifically at “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” and superhero movies in general.
“And it’s a piece of sh–. I’m not interested in the stuff,” Gibson said. “Do you know what the difference between real superheroes and comic book superheroes is? Real superheroes didn’t wear spandex. So I don’t know. Spandex must cost a lot.”
Ouch, harsh comments from Mr. Mel Gibson. Judging from those comments, it doesn’t seem likely that we’ll be seeing him do anything involved with a superhero movie in the near future.
