Brad Pitt advises next generation of actors to avoid pressure of franchises or superhero roles
Washington [US], July 3 (ANI): Actor Brad Pitt shared his thoughts on the pressures facing young actors in Hollywood today. According to Variety, during an interview, which coincided with his promotional tour for 'F1', Pitt expressed both admiration for the new generation of talent and concern over the overwhelming expectations placed on them by the industry. The Oscar-winning actor, spoke about how the landscape of Hollywood has evolved since his rise to fame, particularly with regard to the growing emphasis on franchises and superhero films. While he acknowledged that young actors today have more freedom to explore various artistic avenues, he warned them about getting "caught up" in the drive for box-office-driven roles. "I like watching what the new generation is coming in with," Pitt said, adding, "I like to see what they are up against and the way they negotiate and work their way through it. They enjoy it more. We were more uptight and it had to be about acting... like, you didn't sell out, you didn't sell out. But now it's like, 'We can be artists in many different arenas, so let's do it and let's enjoy it,'" as quoted by Variety. However, the 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' star also noted a dangerous shift in the industry, particularly for younger stars who feel compelled to join a franchise or star in superhero films. "But they also get caught up in you 'have to have a franchise' or 'have to have a superhero.' But I keep saying, 'Don't! Don't! They'll die," Pitt continued, reflecting on the exhausting pressures that come with franchise roles. Pitt also called the experience a potential "killer" for young talent. Despite a cameo in 'Deadpool 2', Pitt has notably avoided the superhero genre and large-scale franchises, opting instead for projects that allow for creative freedom. The actor has maintained a strong presence in Hollywood while staying true to his artistic vision, a balance he believes is critical for sustainability in the industry. Pitt's reluctance to join the superhero bandwagon aligns with a similar philosophy shared by his 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio, a long-time advocate for pursuing substantive roles, reportedly gave advice to 'Dune' star Timothee Chalamet during his rise to fame. DiCaprio cautioned against joining the superhero craze, advising the young actor to avoid "superhero movies" and "hard drugs," as Chalamet recounted in a past interview, as per Variety. Chalamet, however, has remained open to the idea of superhero roles if the right script and director are involved, noting that his passion for acting was initially sparked by 'The Dark Knight.' "Well, Leonardo DiCaprio said to me, 'No superhero movies, no hard drugs,' which I thought was very good," Chalamet reflected, adding, "I follow them both! But the movie that made me want to act is a superhero movie, The Dark Knight." As for his own future, Pitt's recent success with 'F1', a racing film that had the biggest opening weekend in Apple's history, could signal the start of a new franchise for the actor. As per reports obtained by Variety, a sequel to the film is already being discussed, and there is also talk of Pitt reprising his role in a 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' sequel, directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher for Netflix.

Brad Pitt doesn't want young Hollywood actors to do superhero and franchise films. Here's why
Actor Brad Pitt has warned young actors about the pressures of the film industry, advising them not to get caught up in this trend of working on a superhero film or franchise, cautioning that such roles can limit their creative potential.

(Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS / AFP)(AFP) Brad spoke about the thing when he joined Travis and Jason Kelce on the New Heights podcast during his F1 promotional tour. Brad said, 'I like watching what the new generation is coming in with. I like to see what they are up against and the way they negotiate and work their way through it. They enjoy it more. We were more uptight, and it had to be about acting… like, you didn't sell out, you didn't sell out'.

But they also get caught up in you 'have to have a franchise' or 'have to have a superhero.' But I keep saying, 'Don't! Don't! They'll die'. The actor feels getting sucked up in franchise fare or comic book movies can lead to exhaustion for young actors. While Brad had a cameo in Deadpool 2, he has avoided superhero movies. He has also steered clear of big Hollywood franchises outside of his Ocean's trilogy with George Clooney and Matt Damon. Brad Pitt's latest film Brad's recent film, the racing drama F1, is currently running in theatres. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film tells the story of Sonny Hayes, a veteran Formula One driver, who makes a comeback to the sport after a 30-year hiatus. A talented and promising driver, a severe accident ended his career.

As Sonny attempts to help the team make a comeback, he faces challenges both on and off the track, including reconciling with his past. F1 also stars Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Sarah Niles. The film has taken a $144-million opening in the US, the highest of Brad's career.

Top 10 injury news of the Lions 2024 season - No. 4: The fortuitous offense
While the calamitous injuries on defense monopolized the headlines during the 2024 season, the Lions offense quietly had a very healthy year. All the offensive starters and most of the key reserves were available for the vast majority of the season. Critical players in Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Penei Sewell played all 18 games. No. 10: Alex Anzalone's forearm No. 9: Ifeatu Melifonwu's turbulent year No. 8: Christian Mahogany's delayed debut No. 7: James Houston's ill-fated comeback No. 6: David Montgomery's mysterious knee No. 5: Carlton Davis jaw fracture All that good health allowed for fun, creative plays like these... MOST SIGNIFICANT INJURIES ON OFFENSE - click links for video (In parentheses are the number of full games missed due to injury including playoffs.) IMPACT ON SEASON Lions fans were hit with a couple of Monday-morning, jump scares with Ragnow's pec tear and Montgomery's initially-diagnosed-as-season-ending knee. All's well that ends well though, as there were no serious season-enders and no long-term absences. Even the short-term absences had minimal impact as there was healthy, quality depth. Jahmyr Gibbs excelled in Montgomery's absence. Dan Skipper performed admirably with Decker out. Christian Mahogany filled in nicely for both Glasgow and Zeitler. WHAT SHOULD WE MAKE OF THE OFFENSE'S GOOD FORTUNE? An important takeaway is that it's hard to blame external factors on the defensive injuries when those same factors were present for the healthy offense. Both sides of the ball played on the same fields, trained under the same strength & conditioning staff, and were treated by the same medical team. More than likely, luck is the reason for the stark difference in health between the offense and the defense. Having Lady Luck on your side may be more important than anything. Lady Luck, take the wheel. - Domino in Deadpool 2 (Explicit language ahead) ANY OFFSEASON INJURY CONCERNS? To this point, there have been no major injuries this offseason which continues the healthy, hot-streak for the offense. Of minor concern is an unexpected, offseason knee "clean-up" surgery for Amon-Ra St. Brown who didn't miss a game all last year. A clean-up often means a meniscus cartilage trim and clearing out of loose bodies in the joint. If that's indeed what happened, the severity of any cartilage damage is extremely variable, and the impact is hard to predict. In the short-term, he is likely to be fine. St. Brown was limited at voluntary OTA in June, but stated he should be ready for training camp. While there are no significant short-term concerns, his performance this season will be something to keep an eye on. OUTLOOK The good news going into the 2025 season is that all offensive starters and key reserves are expected to be healthy for training camp and the start of the season. The bad news is that the immutable law of probabilities may result in some injury regression-to-the-mean in 2025. This cuts both ways though. While the offense likely won't be as blessed as last year, the defense likely won't be as cursed.
