Steven Spielberg’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the Superhero Film That Impressed Him the Most

As a film buff, I remember reading Steven Spielberg’s prediction back in 2015 – he thought superhero movies would eventually fade like Westerns did. He’d seen the Western genre decline and figured the same thing would happen to superheroes, though he also left room for a possible comeback someday. Honestly, he’s been pretty spot-on. Superhero films aren’t the automatic box office hits they once were, particularly for Marvel. But it’s interesting – even with that prediction, Spielberg admits he still enjoys a few superhero movies, and he’s even singled out one from the Marvel Cinematic Universe that he really connected with.
