Adam Devine Speaks Out About His Marvel Comments After They Were Misconstrued

Adam Devine is clearing up some confusion over his Marvel comments. If you didn’t see, the 39-year-old actor opened up about Marvel films, sharing his opinion about how the company “ruined it” for comedy movies. “I feel like superhero movies ruined comedies because you go to the theater, and you expect to watch something that cost $200 million to make,” he noted during a podcast appearance. “Comedy movies aren’t that.

So you’re like, ‘Why would I spend the same amount of money to go watch a little comedy in the theater if I can spend that and go see something that is worth $200 million?’” Adam‘s comments were picked up by a lot of outlets, and some took them to mean something else.

Adam still very much likes Marvel movies. “As a guy who loves movies and tv, it’s cool to be in Variety but this is misleading,” he shared on his Twitter account. “I like Marvel and think these movies are cool.” What he meant to say was “that studios (in trying to compete with Marvel) have stopped making mid budget comedies.

I miss seeing comedy in the theaters!” Adam‘s most recent movie, The Out-Laws, is streaming on Netflix now.
