All Good Things Must Come To An End, Even in Hollywood

Kendall Phillips, professor of communication and rhetorical studies in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, was interviewed by The Observer for the story “Predicting the Future of Superhero Movies Is Harder Than You Think.”

Phillips comments on whether or not Superhero movies are here to stay, saying, “As for the silver screen, current and future production will be increasingly driven by foreign markets. These markets may not have had quite as much exposure and, so the big superhero spectacle movie may still have some longevity. Although, I suspect that the big tentpole superhero film may start to lose its attraction for some.”
