A Black Widow Actor Wanted To Be Recast After Marvel Asked For Reshoots

Marvel Studios has a good reputation in Hollywood. First and foremost, it is a destination for the films run by Kevin Feige. It is also not a typical studio, as directors are not necessarily turned on, and movies are often re -equipped a lot along the way. “Dr. String in madness” passed by Sam Raimi with a great reformulation before it became a great success. It is just part of the deal. Whether it’s so, it is part of the deal that the “black widow” star Ray Winston did not enjoy.

Speaking at the Sarayevo Film Festival, where he received the honorary heart award for Sarajevo (through a variety), Winstone had a lot to say about his time in the world of Marvel Cinematic University. He played Dreikov’s wicked role in the 2021 movie. Initially, it was a good experience, as the actor explained that he enjoyed working with director Cate Shortland in Scarlett Johansson for a long time like Natasha Romanoff. This is what he said on this topic:

“I worked with this amazing director, Cate Shortland, and we worked on what my personality will be. It was like the children who run around all these girls, and they became black widows. We used to prove the group. Maybe the best thing I did for a long time.”

Unfortunately, things changed as soon as the re -sales began. Recycling operations were not in any way. At that point, Winston suggested that they were re -formulated, but this is not how things go out.

“Then I go home after completing the job and receive a call saying that we need to do some resales. I say: How many scenes? [Cate] He says, “All of them.” So I said that she should reformulate [the role]But I contracted, so I had to do so. I go back, they do everything nice, put me in the lawsuit, and I couldn’t do so. I had already done so. I thought, “I’m not doing it now. I did it. So it will be.”

“This is a refusal, do you know?” Winston concluded. “There is nothing worse than doing something, leaving it on the floor, then it is told that it is not true.”

This is not the first time that Winston has talked about his experience in working on the “black widow”. In an interview in 2024, the actor described the Reshoot with Marvel as “passing the soul”. It is not as if this is something new, and it is certainly not the first actor to have his problems in a very big and very costly movie with many animated parts. Configure re -performance is frustrating.

For Marvel Studios, this movie was only running the house. “Black Widow” was subject to a lawsuit by Johansson due to its simultaneous issuance on VOD and in theaters in 2021, which was installed at the potential box office. Since then, MCU has struggled to maintain the high heights that witnessed before the epidemic in 2020. To achieve this goal, Winstone also regretted Hollywood’s general focus on the larger films, in any small part of the successful MCU. He also said:

“It is all about selling tickets. We see what is happening in Hollywood with Marvel and all this type of things … There is room for this, and it is fun, but it comes out of obtaining cultural films, which are the best for actors, [and] These are really good acting parts. It becomes more and more difficult to do so. If you are not on social media now, they may not consider you a movie because they want a mass base with that. “

As for what is worth, Superhero’s films were struggling at the box office, indicating that its rule as a dominant power is indisputable in the media approaching its end. The tide may return to these “cultural films”, says Winston.
