Marvel Studios has a reputation in Hollywood. First and foremost is a destination for Hit films led by Kevin Jegie. It is also not a typical studio, with directors not having to run the ship, and films are often recurrent on the road. Sam Raimi's "Doctor Doctor in Multiversum" went through significant reshapes Before you become a big hit. That's just part of the deal. However, it is part of the deal that the Starwear "Black Widow" Ray Winston did not enjoy.

Speaking at the Sarajevo Film Festival, where he received the honorary heart of Sarajevo (through Diversity), Winston had a lot to say about his time in Marvel's film universe. He played the evil Drekov in the blockbuster in 2021. At first, it was a good experience, as the actor explained, enjoyed working with director Kate Fortland The long -term solo film by Scarlett Johansson like Natasha Romano. Here's what he had to say about it:

"I worked with this amazing director, Kate Fortland and we worked for what my character would be. He was like a pedophile running around all these girls and they would become black widows. We used to say hello.

Unfortunately, things have changed after the remaining appears. And the remaining were by no means minimal. At that moment, Winston said they would rework it, but that's not how things missed.

"Then I go home after I finished the job and got a call saying we should make some reshapes. I say: How many scenes? (Kate) says" all of them ". So I said that she had to rethink (role), but I was agreed, so I had to do it.

"That's the rejection. You know?" Winston finished. "There is nothing worse than doing something, leaving it on the floor, and then to say it's not right."

This is not the first time Winston talked about his experience working on a "black widow". In an interview in 2024, The actor described the redistribution process with Marvel as "destroying the soul". It's not like this is something new, and he is certainly not the first actor to have his problems working on a very big, very expensive film with very moving parts. The performance must be completely repeated is understandable frustrating.

For the Marvel studio, this film was nothing but at home. "Black Widow" was subject to Johansson's lawsuit Due to its simultaneous edition of VOD and in the cinema in 2021, which hesitated its potential treasurer. Since then, MCC has been struggling to keep high elevations experienced before the pandemic in 2020. To that end, Winston also complains about the overall focus of Hollywood on larger films, in no small part driven by MCC's success. As he said:

"Everything is for selling tickets. We see what is happening in Hollywood with Marvel and all such things ... there is room for it, and it's fun, but it takes away from making cultural films that are best for the actors, (s) are really good acting. It becomes more and more difficult to do.

For what is worth, Superhero movies fight in box officesuggesting that their rule as an undeniable dominant force in the media will end. The tide can go back to these "cultural films", as Winston says.
