The Batman director Matt Reeves has explained why he feels he would get "lost" directing a Marvel movie.
"I have such respect for Kevin Feige and also for the [Marvel] filmmakers," Reeves told Variety. "But to be honest with you, I just don’t know how I would make my way through that."
Reeves explained that his way of working – which involves a certain amount of "freedom" on his part – might not mesh with the MCU machine.
"There has to be some level of discovery for me, where I have some freedom to find my way," Reeves said. "If I have to come into something that’s already set too firmly, then I think I would get lost. And I don’t think they would be happy with me either."
"I said look, I think maybe I'm not the person for this. And I explained to them why I love this character," Reeves explained in a recent interview with Esquire. "I told them that there have been so many great movies, but if I were to do this, I'd have to make it personal, so that I understood what I was going to do with it, so that I know where to put the camera, so that I know what to tell the actors, so that I know what the story should be."
