Brian Cox Slams Current State of Cinema, Blames Deadpool, Wolverine & Comic Book Movies

Acclaimed British actor Brian Cox is known for his unrelenting honesty when it comes to new movies and the state of the industry, and the MCU’s new hit, Deadpool & Wolverine, is the latest target in his critical crosshairs. Cox has been working since 1965, getting his start in ITV (a British TV channel) dramas, and slowly working his way up the ladder until he became a household name following appearances in Rob Roy, Braveheart, and Manhunter. Recent years have seen Cox’s stardom skyrocket to new heights, thanks in large part to his starring role in HBO’s remarkable drama Succession, and the actor has used his new platform to call out what he believes is the reason ‘cinema’ is dying…blockbuster superhero movies.
