I am begging studios to stop making movies for everybody.
DC Studios' new boss Jeremy Latcham previously worked at Marvel, where his "guiding light" was to make superhero movies for everyone.
“When we were making the first Marvel movies I would always be like, 'I don’t know if my grandma would like that'… it became the stand-in for ‘is this going to work for regular people outside the bubble of Hollywood?’" Latcham said over the summer while talking to Christian Broadcasting News about his comic book movie philosophy.
“In the old Marvel days, there’s this great story about my Meemaw and Peepaw because they became, like, a joke in the editing room – that we were making the movie for my grandparents in Oklahoma,” Latcham previously said in a separate interview with GamesRadar+. “If they weren’t gonna understand it, [it was] never going to work for anybody… I think that’s kind of the fun of these movies, of adapting material – finding a way to make it for everybody. You have to be true to the fans, but you have to make it ultimately for everybody.”
