@RichardLNewby3 I feel like they’re going to do a lot of 20-30’s but they can always use older actors to be the teachers. I know that’s unfortunately what the original movies did with Storm but if the right actor is the right actor, who knows!?
Iman Vellani on the statement that Gen Z doesn’t care about superhero movies:
“I don’t agree that Gen Z has stopped caring about superheroes. Maybe they’ve just stopped feeling obligated to show up.
Our generation has grown up with an abundance of superhero stories, so perhaps the novelty has worn off — which is natural.
The bar is higher now. We’re looking for stories that feel specific and emotional — especially in the age of AI. We want honesty from our storytellers. We want our intelligence respected.
If anything, I think Gen Z responds incredibly well to superheroes when they’re treated as people first. The themes of grief, identity, legacy, belonging — they’re timeless and will never age out.
Every genre goes through cycles. Westerns did. Musicals did. Romcoms did. So the answer isn’t to abandon the genre, but to find new stories that only be told through THIS genre.
At the end of the day, I think we just want these films to evolve and grow alongside their audience.”
🚨 You're looking inside one of the strongest storms on Earth.
This is Super Typhoon Bavi approaching Guam. On the left is rainfall intensity. On the right is radar velocity, showing the incredible winds rotating around the eye.
The tighter those colors are wrapped around the center, the more intense the circulation. Winds near the core are expected to reach around 180 mph, making this a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon.
Nature doesn't get much more powerful than this.
