The Watchmen Star Praises Zack Snyder: Leading the Way of the Era
2023-07-17
Patrick Wilson, the star of 'The Watchmen,' recently praised director Zack Snyder for his ahead-of-its-time 'dark' view on superheroes, stating that it paved the way for films like 'The Avengers' in the MCU.
Patrick Wilson mentioned that 'The Watchmen,' released in 2009, is the only film in which he has watched himself from start to finish since its premiere. He expressed how it made him realize the significance of movies like 'The Avengers,' even though they are quite different.
'That movie is great, and I just want to approach it as an elder, as a filmmaker. I know Zack was leading the way of the era, and it's strange to say that the audience wasn't ready for it, but you need movies like that. You need movies to be so dark so that 'The Avengers' can appear so bright. I believe in that,' Wilson explained.
'The Watchmen' marked Snyder's first foray into the world of true superhero films, where he didn't shy away from the violence and mature content present in the original work. This approach even sparked some controversy among fans who claimed it was too faithful to the comic book source material.
