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.
