Don't do superhero or franchise films: Brad Pitt to young actors
India, July 5 -- Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has warned young actors about the pressures of the film industry, advising them not to get caught up in the trend of working on superhero films.
Such roles, the 61-year-old cautioned, can limit their creative potential.
"I like watching what the new generation is coming in with. I like to see what they are up against and the way they negotiate and work their way through it. They enjoy it more. We were more uptight, and it had to be about acting. Like, you didn't sell out, you didn't sell out," he told Travis and Jason Kelce on the New Heights podcast.
The actor, who will next be seen in F1, added the differences he sees in the current generation: "But now it's like, 'We can be artistes in many different arenas, so let's do it and let's enjoy it'. But they also get caught up in you 'have to have a franchise' or 'have to have a superhero'. But I keep saying, 'Don't! Don't! They'll die." Brad also opined that getting sucked up in franchise fare or comic book movies can lead to exhaustion for young actors.
Incidentally, he himself had a cameo in Marvel's superhero film Deadpool 2 (2018). He has also steered clear of big Hollywood franchises outside of his Ocean's trilogy with actors George Clooney and Matt Damon. htc...
