The 'Love Lies Bleeding' star said on the 'Not Skinny But Not Fat' podcast that she'd 'likely never' join the MCU—unless a certain director was involved.

Actor Kristen Stewart is no stranger to starring in Hollywood blockbusters but she's never done a big-budget superhero film—and she's made it clear that she's not interested in joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) anytime soon.

In a recent appearance on the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast, Stewart expressed her reluctance to sign on to a Marvel tentpole unless significant changes are made to the studio system.


She candidly shared that she "will likely never do a Marvel movie" because the process sounds like "f**king nightmare" though she noted that she enjoys making “big movies because I like people to watch them when I’m in them.”

She then explained what would need to happen for her to take on a role in the MCU in the first place:

“You would have to put so much money and so much trust into one person … and it doesn’t happen. And so therefore what ends up happening is this algorithmic, weird experience where you can’t feel personal at all about it. So likely not."

But then added that there was one director who could actually get her to say "yes" to the MCU:

"But maybe the world changes, that’s what I’m saying. How could I tell you no when maybe one day … if Greta Gerwig asked me to do a Marvel movie, then I would do it.”

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Many applauded Stewart's candor—and are clamoring for her and Gerwig to work together.

In recent years, Stewart has gravitated towards independent cinema, earning critical acclaim for her roles in films that offer more nuanced storytelling and character development. She earned her first Academy Award nomination in 2021 for playing the late Diana, Princess of Wales in Pablo Larrain's biographical drama Spencer.

Her latest role in A24's Love Lies Bleeding has received significant praise and she will soon mark her feature film directorial debut with an adaptation of writer Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir The Chronology of Water.

JD Vance Gets Perfectly Shamed After Claiming Medicaid Cuts In Budget Bill Are 'Immaterial'

Critics slammed Vice President JD Vance after he claimed that the "minutiae of the Medicaid policy" in President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," are "immaterial" to the millions of Americans who would lose their healthcare coverage if it were to become law.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." WaPo noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."

Having just arrived at the convention, Hannah-Kim approached Kove from behind and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. In response, he grabbed her arm and bit her in the bicep almost hard enough to "draw blood," then took her arm again and kissed the place where he bit her.
