Patrick Wilson Thinks It's Kind Of Crazy For People To Say Batman V Superman Did Poorly

Actor Patrick Wilson is well versed in dealing with divisive superhero movie reviews, something he experienced when he took part in Zack Snyder's previous superhero opus, Watchmen.

During the press tour for The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Case, he sat down with Badtaste.it to discuss a few things, and the recent Snyder film Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice came up. Here is what he had to say when asked if he would ever like to appear in another superhero film.

"I mean, I would love to be in a DC movie if it works out. I was going to do another, do a Marvel movie and that didn't work out, and I was really close to that, so uh, yeah, look I love comic book movies and I have dug BVS, so, as far as reviews that's not really my business, and I certainly, I remember going through that with Watchmen where you were so faithful to it that the, real, that some people thought it was too faithful for its own good, so its like you can't, you make movies for audiences, and a movie that makes 900 million dollars, I don't think you can sit here with a straight face and say "yeah, it really did poorly". That's kind of crazy you know? That's a lot of people enjoyed it really thoroughly as did I, so, only positive for me."

While you can certainly say the studio expected more from their tentpole blockbuster, you can't call it a failure. While income doesn't necessarily reflect a film's quality, outright failure's don't tend to bring in 871 million dollars either.
