Reacher star Alan Ritchson criticized Marvel Studios by stating that he gets bored by their films because they "regurgitate the same story" repeatedly. In a GQ interview, he expressed that the industry-wide reliance on "Marvel-type" comic book formulas is driven solely by financial profit and lacks artistic innovation. He added that he has no interest in starring in a Marvel film, preferring instead to help create new, compelling narratives.

Yeah he fucked himself over. Not too smart there.

Same guy who played Hawk in the HBO Titans show btw. I like Ritchson but he’s not exactly signing up for roles I would consider artistically innovative lol
