According to IGN, Independence Day Director Roland Emmerich isn’t exactly a fan of superhero movies. In fact, he feels many Marvel films are “silly.”
“When you look at my movies it’s always the regular Joe Schmo that’s the unlikely hero. A lot of Marvel movies, they show people in funny suits running around. I don’t like people in capes. I find it silly when someone dons a superhero suit and flies. I don’t understand it. I grew up in Germany, that’s probably why.”
