Cage Criticizes MCU as 'Glorified WWE'; Sorkin Clarifies 'Social Reckoning' Politics

Actor Nicolas Cage has voiced his dissatisfaction with the current direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, likening its storytelling to a "glorified WWE" and lamenting a perceived shift away from its narrative roots. His comments come as the superhero genre faces scrutiny over its creative output.

Meanwhile, writer-director Aaron Sorkin has clarified that his upcoming film, 'The Social Reckoning,' which explores the early days of Facebook, was not intended as a political statement. Sorkin stated he was never asked to omit any political figures from the narrative and emphasized his desire for the film to transcend partisan divides, focusing instead on the whistleblower's story.
