Michael Keatonmay have played a superhero but that doesn’t mean he is watching Marvel and DC movies in his free time.
The actor — who will reprise the role of Bruce Wayne in the upcoming filmThe FlashalongsideBen Affleck— revealed he has not finished watching a single superhero to date in an interview withVariety.
“I know people don’t believe this, that I’ve never seen an entire version of any of those movies — any Marvel movie, any other,” he said. “And I don’t say that I don’t watch that because I’m highbrow — trust me! It’s not that.”
Keaton, 70, added, “It’s just that there’s very little things I watch. I start watching something, and think it is great and I watch three episodes, but I have other s— to do!”
His comment echoed similar sentiments he shared in an interview withThe Hollywood Reporterin 2021.
“After the firstBatman, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an entire [comic book] movie,” Keaton recalled at the time. “I just never got around to it. So you’re talking to a guy who wasn’t in the zeitgeist of that whole world.”
He added, “They’ll be doing Marvel movies forever. I’ll be dead, and they’ll still be doing Marvel movies.”

“I was curious what it would be like after this many years. Not so much me doing it — obviously, some of that — but I was just curious about it, weirdly, socially,” he shared.
TheDopesickstarcontinued, “This whole thing is gigantic. They have their entirely own world so, I like to look at it as an outsider, thinking ‘Holy moly!'”
“The writing was actually really good,” he toldVariety. “So I thought, why not? It’s cool to drop in and I’m curious to see if I can pull it off.”
