Brad Pitt doesn't want young Hollywood actors to do superhero and franchise films. Here's why
Actor Brad Pitt has warned young actors about the pressures of the film industry, advising them not to get caught up in this trend of working on a superhero film or franchise, cautioning that such roles can limit their creative potential. Also read: Does Brad Pitt regret not having a 'gay experience'? Hear him spill the beans as Pride Month concludes Brad Pitt at the red carpet upon arrival for the European Premier of F1 The Movie, at Cineworld Leicester Square, London. (Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS / AFP)(AFP) Brad spoke about the thing when he joined Travis and Jason Kelce on the New Heights podcast during his F1 promotional tour. Brad said, 'I like watching what the new generation is coming in with. I like to see what they are up against and the way they negotiate and work their way through it. They enjoy it more. We were more uptight, and it had to be about acting… like, you didn't sell out, you didn't sell out'. He added, 'But now it's like, 'We can be artists in many different arenas, so let's do it and let's enjoy it.' But they also get caught up in you 'have to have a franchise' or 'have to have a superhero.' But I keep saying, 'Don't! Don't! They'll die'. The actor feels getting sucked up in franchise fare or comic book movies can lead to exhaustion for young actors. While Brad had a cameo in Deadpool 2, he has avoided superhero movies. He has also steered clear of big Hollywood franchises outside of his Ocean's trilogy with George Clooney and Matt Damon. Brad Pitt's latest film Brad's recent film, the racing drama F1, is currently running in theatres. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film tells the story of Sonny Hayes, a veteran Formula One driver, who makes a comeback to the sport after a 30-year hiatus. A talented and promising driver, a severe accident ended his career. In the film, Brad's character, Sonny, is brought back into the world of Formula One by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), who now owns a struggling F1 team. As Sonny attempts to help the team make a comeback, he faces challenges both on and off the track, including reconciling with his past. F1 also stars Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Sarah Niles. The film has taken a $144-million opening in the US, the highest of Brad's career.

Premier League: Chelsea signs Brazil forward Joao Pedro from Brighton
Joao Pedro joined Chelsea from Brighton on Wednesday to continue the Premier League club's lavish spending under American owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. The Brazil forward cost a reported 60 million pounds ($82 million) and has signed a contract through to 2033. Everyone knows this is a big club with a great history, Joao Pedro said. They had brilliant players in the past and have brilliant players now. So I am excited to join and you know when you are a Chelsea player you must think one thing win. The Brazil international has joined up with Chelsea's squad at the Club World Cup in the United States and is eligible to play in Friday's quarterfinal against Palmeiras. Joao Pedro is Chelsea's fifth major signing this offseason after previous deals for Liam Delap, Dario Essugo, Kendry Paez and Mamadou Sarr. Under Boehly and Clearlake, who bought Chelsea in 2022, the six-time English champion has spent well in excess of $1 billion on transfers, including British record fees for Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. The boy from Brazil. ???????? — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 2, 2025 The 23-year-old Joao Pedro hit 10 goals in 32 appearances for Brighton last season and scored 30 across two years with the club. He is the latest player to leave Brighton for Chelsea in a big-money move in recent years after deals for Marc Cucurella, Robert Sanchez and Caicedo. The move also represents a sizeable profit for Brighton after signing Joao Pedro from Watford for 30 million pounds ($41 million) in 2023. This is a good move for all parties. It's an excellent deal for the club, and a good return on a significant investment in an area of the pitch where we have a lot of competition and are already well served in terms of our attacking talent," said Brighton coach Fabian Hurzeler. Joao Pedro's arrival comes as Chelsea prepares for a return to the Champions League after a two-year absence. Under coach Enzo Maresca, the London club finished fourth in the Premier League last season, its highest place since Boehly and Clearlake bought out former owner Roman Abramovich, and also won the UEFA Conference League. Chelsea can add to that at the Club World Cup, but the expectation next season will be to challenge for a first Premier League title under its American owners.
