Kristen Stewart Names The 1 Thing That Would Get Her To Star In A Marvel Movie

Kristen Stewart would only make a comic book movie if one director was involved.

The former Twilight actor has spent more than a decade opting for projects a million miles from the franchise that made her a star.

While even her former co-star Robert Pattinson has since joined the superhero fray, Kristen would only follow suit if a singular vision was at the helm.

“I will likely never do a Marvel movie … That sounds like a fucking nightmare, actually,” she said on Tuesday’s episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.

“If Greta Gerwig asked me to do a Marvel movie, then I would do it,” she added later.

Greta’s Barbie became a cultural phenomenon last year and won an Oscar earlier this month.

Kristen certainly doesn’t need superhero spandex to carve out a career for herself. The acclaimed actor has come a long way since her Twilight days as Bella Swan ended in 2012, and has starred in dramas that earned her Oscar, Golden Globe and César Award nods.

While she’s grateful for her breakout role in the billion-dollar vampire romance franchise, Kristen argued in her latest interview that “big movies” can impede directors from their creative vision — and is only drawn to them because she likes “people to watch them when I’m in them”.

“The system would have to change,” she added. “You’d have to put so much money and so much 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.”

Kristen certainly isn’t the first artist to feel that way.

Directors like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, as well as actors including Nicolas Cage and Ethan Hawke, have previously echoed the same sentiment about these “big movies” — the blinding spotlight of which Kristen has also already experienced.

The Oscar nominee was only 18 when Twilight, adapted from a Stephanie Meyer novel for young adults, launched her into stardom. The five-film franchise grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide and made Kristen, Robert and co-star Taylor Lautner into unwitting sex symbols.

Kristen has since starred mostly in more adult dramas, but remains open to anything.

“I’m a yes man,” she said on the podcast before expounding. “The path that has been carved by my life — both the ways in which I’ve controlled that and also the ways that it has just fallen off the truck — it would be so stupid to ever be like, ‘Yes. No. Yes’.”

Kristen Stewart Says She’ll Get Married In Her Twilight Wedding Dress When It Does Happen

It may have been over 10 years since Kristen Stewart last played Bella Swan in Twilight, but there’s one detail from the hit teen vampire films that she’s still thinking about.

The Love Lies Bleeding star, who is engaged to Dylan Meyer, recently spoke to WhoWhatWear about what kind of wedding dress she would go for if the couple were to have a traditional ceremony.

As it turns out, the actor would go for something like Bella’s long-sleeved, lace back dress she wears in her wedding to Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in Breaking Dawn Part 1.

“I love that dress so much,” she said of the Carolina Herrera-designed gown. “I remember getting into it. It felt like getting into a real wedding dress because I was being hidden in some room with, like, heaters, and I was like, ‘It’s too hot in here, and my makeup’s melting off.’

“And they’re like, ‘Well, we’re not going to be ready for 30 minutes.’ And I was like, ’But I’m ready now. And I was like, ‘Well, here we go. This is the time that I can play the bride.’”

She added that it was a “nice” memory and her co-star Robert looked “great”.

“I think if I were to ever do like a classic wedding dress, this is kind of the one,” she added.

While she clarified that she wouldn’t actually be wearing the dress, she was happy she got to experience that in the film. “I appreciate that,” she said.

Earlier this year, Kristen admitted that she considers Twilight to be “such a gay movie”.

“I can only see it now,” she told Variety. “I don’t think it necessarily started off that way, but I also think that the fact that I was there at all, it was percolating.”

Jennifer Lawrence Shrugs Off Cannes’ Unofficial Dress Code With Choice Of Footwear

Jennifer Lawrence knows how to command Cannes ― in flip-flops, no less.

The actor appeared at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Anatomy of a Fall on Sunday, dressed in a red, crepe silk gown by Dior Haute Couture, paired with an Archi Dior necklace made of white gold and diamonds.

Lawrence, who was dressed by stylist Jamie Mizrahi, didn’t walk the official red carpet in sandals.

But, as seen in photos of the event, the actor did wear black flip-flops by The Row at one point on the carpet, Mizrahi confirmed to HuffPost through her agent on Monday.

It was a bold choice, since Cannes famously, and contentiously, encourages women to wear heels on its red carpet. In 2015, a number of women were reportedly turned away from attending a premiere of Carol because they were wearing flats.

HuffPost reached out to the Cannes Film Festival to clarify its current dress code policy.

Lawrence’s decision to wear sandals brings to mind Kristen Stewart’s 2018 appearance at the festival. The Spencer star posed for photographers on the red carpet in Christian Louboutin stilettos, which she then removed to walk the rest of the carpet barefoot.

Two years earlier, Stewart had spoken out about the festival’s implied expectation that women wear heels.

“If [a man and I] were walking the red carpet together and someone stopped me and said, ‘Excuse me, young lady, you’re not wearing heels. You cannot come in,’ then [I’m going to say], ‘Neither is my friend. Does he have to wear heels?’” Stewart said in 2016, according to Vanity Fair.

“It can work both ways,” she added. “It’s just like you simply cannot ask me to do something that you are not asking him. I get the black-tie thing but you should be able to do either version — flats or heels.”
