Spike Lee: MCU fan, throws shade at DC

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

spike lee marvel dcYou guys remember when Spike Lee was possibly attached to direct the movie adaptation of Marvel's Nightwatch? Me either. However in a recent interview, Lee did speak about his lasting affinity for the MCU and how he prefers it much more than the house the Bat built. I'm talking about DC for the uninitiated. Here's an excerpt of Spike discussing if he'd still be into directing a Marvel flick:

"I have nothing against Marvel. I grew up reading Spider-Man comic books. To me, DC Comics was always corny." Lee continued with a laugh, "I'm just saying. I was all about Marvel. If the right opportunity comes across, I'm not campaigning for it, but I will give it consideration."

There it is! Did you see that sick little burn towards DC? I wonder if he thinks EVERYTHING about DC is corny? Could he only be referring to the movies? How do you guys feel? Let us know your Spike Marvel thoughts below in the comments.
