LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Finn Wolfhard, the breakout star from the hit Netflix show 'Stranger Things,' recently gave a brutally honest assessment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, the 21-year-old actor didn't shy away from voicing his disinterest in joining the MCU, citing the recent "mid" performances of the franchise's films as the primary reason.

Finn Wolfhard confesses that he's not interested in a Marvel role

During the interview, Wolfhard, attached to a lie detector, confessed to a declining interest in the MCU. When questioned if he had ever desired a role in a Marvel film, the actor admitted, "Yes. In the past, yes."

However, his stance shifted drastically when prompted about recent MCU movies' quality, characterizing them as "mid." Subsequently asked if he had lost interest in joining the franchise due to this perception, Wolfhard simply replied with an unequivocal "Yes."

Despite his meteoric rise in Hollywood, starring in popular projects with A-listers, Wolfhard believes his involvement wouldn't substantially impact the quality of MCU movies. He stated, "Do I believe that I would save the Marvel franchise alone as an actor? No."

Finn Wolfhard's 'Stranger Things' co-star Joseph Quinn recently joined cast of 'The Fantastic Four'

While Wolfhard remains hesitant about MCU ventures, his 'Stranger Things' co-star Joseph Quinn recently joined the cast of 'The Fantastic Four,' signaling differing opinions within the same circle, Variety reports.

Wolfhard's criticism comes amid growing concerns over the creative direction and overall quality of Marvel's recent releases. Once a seemingly unstoppable force, releasing critically acclaimed and commercially successful films year after year, the MCU has faced increasing scrutiny and backlash in recent years.

As the MCU enters its latest phase, dubbed The Multiverse Saga, Marvel finds itself at a crossroads. The studio must recapture the magic that made its early offerings so beloved while adapting to the evolving tastes and expectations of modern audiences.
