Amanda Seyfried gets honest about making sequels

Amanda Seyfried is taking a dig at makers in Hollywood, who opted to make sequels instead of working on original ideas.

In a chat with Interview magazine, the actress was joined by Rachel Brosnahan. The star, who played Lois Lane, in Superman, asked, “We have Jurassic Park [‘Jurassic World Rebirth’], ‘Superman’ and ‘Fantastic Four.’ What’s our Barbenheimer between ‘Fantastic Four,’ ‘Jurassic Park,’ and ‘Superman’? The people need you. Supertastic Park?”

Amanda replied, “It’s Fantastic Super-park. It’s Four Superparks. Four Dinosaurs. Four Super Dinosaurs. I don’t know! I will say, there’s a little bit of fatigue with sequels."

"I want original content. I think it’s really scary and brave to do it. It’s not scary and not very brave to do sequels. It’s just for money and it’s frustrating. Then again, I’d do ‘Mamma Mia 3’ in a heartbeat," she continued.

On the other hand, Rachel also said she is open to working on a sequel to Superman. “Yeah, I’d come back. We had a great time. There’s also so many people in this cast who I didn’t get to work with.”

“I don’t know why people say yes only to then turn around and complain about it,” she noted. 

“Look, I don’t want to **** on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them. Do it or don’t do it, and then stand by it.“

Superman will be out on July 11.
