Thandiwe Newton has not yet starred in a superhero movie, though she revealed in a new interview that she turned down a role in one.The 48-year-old actress was promoting her new movie Reminiscence, which debuted in theaters and on HBO Max earlier this month.While promoting the movie in a new interview with LADBible, the actress said that, despite turning the other movie down, she is open to starring in the superhero genre.

Thandiwe Newton has revealed that she’d love to star in a superhero movie.

LADBible. “It was more the role, you know what I mean?”Newton said that big franchises have a tendency to “bore” her.“I’m quite cynical about it too, because it’s just about money; it’s this behemoth of money that’s just like rolling forward gathering more money, right?” she said.However, she admitted to enjoying the way in which certain directors are playing with the boundaries of blockbusters.“I love what’s happening with these genres now, where filmmakers are fucking with the genre,” she said.“The perfect example is Taika Waititi, what he did with [Thor:]Ragnarok.

Solo: A Star Wars Story, stating that her character’s death was a “big mistake”.The actress played Val – wife to criminal Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) – in the Star Wars spin-off, which charted the origins of Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich).Newton’s character made history as the first Black woman to have a major role in the franchise, but Val was swiftly killed off by the end of the film – a decision which wasn’t in the original script.Speaking to Inverse, Newton said: “I felt disappointed by Star Wars that my character was killed. And, actually, in the script, she wasn’t killed.“It happened during filming.

Looking back. Thandiwe Newton has opened up about her character being killed off in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story and how she felt seeing it play out onscreen.

Thandiwe Newton made history in 2018 as the first Black woman to have a major role in a “Star Wars” movie when she appeared as Val in “Solo: A Star Wars Story”. Now, the “Reminiscence” star says the original script didn’t have her character die in an explosion — that disappointing change was made during filming on the Ron Howard-directed movie.

Lucasfilm‘s “Solo: A Story Wars Story” was a costly venture for the studio, as they fired the original directors, Chris Miller and Phil Lord, leading to very expensive reshoots led by acclaimed director, Ron Howard. And as we all know, those reshoots were quite extensive, greatly changing quite a bit of the story along the way, apparently including the fate of at least one of the main characters.

Thandiwe Newton believes the Solo: A Star Wars Story team made a "big mistake" when they killed her character off. In the 2018 Star Wars spin-off, starring Alden Ehrenreich as a young Han Solo, the Westworld actress played Val, a criminal and Solo ally who gets unceremoniously killed off during a train heist.
