It doesn’t surprise anyone that everyone is a fan of superheroes, their comics, and their big-budget fictional movies. But in 2019, Jennifer Aniston took an issue with Marvel Studios for making green-screen movies and claimed that the film industry is “diminishing” as a result.

Friends star said there are not enough good roles in the industry and the rise in superhero films caused more traditional Hollywood film roles to vanish. In an interview with Variety, Jennifer Aniston said she was “not interested in living on a green screen” and added she would, “so love to have the era of Meg Ryan come back.”

We’ll look at what more the actress had to say about Marvel Studios and the superhero movies.
