Nicolas Cage criticizes Marvel Cinematic Universe as expensive wrestling spectacle

Actor Nicolas Cage has criticised Marvel superhero films, saying they feel too much like professional wrestling.

Cage described the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a "well-funded and glorified WWE." He said the films cut too quickly to fight scenes. He also noted that he has seen more than 50 talented actors wearing unusual costumes and preparing to fight. When he watches these films, he finds it hard not to think of wrestling.

Cage himself has appeared in several comic book films. These include Ghost Rider and Kick-Ass, and he provided a voice in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
