“Deadpool & Wolverine.” The “Succession” star spoke at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in Scotland over the weekend, where he said that cinema is “in a very bad way,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.“What’s happened is that television is doing what cinema used to do.

I think cinema is in a very bad way,” the Scottish actor stated. The Emmy-winning star added, “I think it’s lost its place because of, partly, the grandiose element between Marvel, DC and all of that.

And I think it’s beginning to implode, actually. You’re kind of losing the plot.”While movies like “Deadpool & Wolverine” earn “a lot of money” at the box office and “make everybody happy,” he said the work “becomes diluted afterwards.

You’re getting the same old— I mean, I’ve done those kind of [projects].” “Deadpool & Wolverine” is now the highest-grossing R-movie of all time, drawing in over $1 billion at the global box office.
