“I didn’t do it. Some are good. Some are kind of funny… Guardians of the Galaxy. Or the first Iron Man. And some of them are just like retreats. I mean you can watch them do Spider-Man five times,” Gibson said referring to superhero movies.

“There is a slight shift in film. But, then again, I think all films are suffering from people not being able to now open them with their name. It’s a different kind of business these days,” he added.
