Filmmaker James Cameron is counting on cinema-goers soon experiencing “Avenger fatigue” as he is fed up of the Marvel superhero movies.

The Oscar-winning director admits he is weary of the sheer volume of comic book adaptations currently being released – with the majority all revolving around male egos.

“I’m hoping we’re going to start getting Avenger fatigue,” Cameron complained at a press event to promote his new documentary show, AMC Visionaries: James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction.

“Not that I don’t love the movies. It’s just, come on, guys, there are other stories to tell besides, you know, hypogonadal males without families doing death-defying things for two hours and wrecking cities in the process,” he added.

Cameron, who recently drew criticism for slamming Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman blockbuster for focusing on “an objectified icon,” would instead prefer to see movies with more depth, just like his four planned Avatar sequels, which he compares to the iconic The Godfather trilogy, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
