Roy Thomas, former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief, has opened up about the controversy regarding his credit in blockbuster movie Deadpool & Wolverine.
Roy reached heights of fame for his work as the co-creator of numerous popular characters, including Vision, Carol Danvers, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.
However, he was not officially credited in a movie as a co-creator of Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine.
During a conversation with THR, he shared, “I’ve never been much of a fan of the Deadpool franchise (still haven’t seen Deadpool 2, almost alone among Marvel-related movies), and I have real trouble taking a story seriously once it starts breaking through the fourth wall.”
The former editor admitted tat he couldn’t see the blockbuster film due to his “circumstances.”
“I hope that it does its little part to get the slightly stalled MCU back on track, which should be doable. There’s no such thing as “super-hero film fatigue” — only an impatience with movies that are poorly done and don’t respect the original material,” he explained.
The 83-year old writer expressed his love for Avengers films, a number of the Spider-Mans (especially Spider-Man: No Way Home), Iron Man, Thor: Ragnarok, Captain America: Civil War and both Doctor Stranges.
