Former actress Rose McGowan says the reason behind her decision to retire from acting are the "boring" superhero films.
McGowan, 42, took to Instagram to criticise the genre for 'regurgitating cliche' and 'excluding women', reported Digital Spy.
"Thoughts on the current state of tent pole films aka superheroes. I'd like to petition for other stories to be added to the slate.
"Where are the human stories? I don't want green goblins and tight outfits. I want intelligence, daring, work that drives society forward. I want a mirror, not every cliche regurgitated ad nauseum," she wrote.
"From Scarface, to Lebowski, to M, to Anchor Man, to the sublime Carol, to Chinatown, to Sullivan's Travels. Let's bring complexity back. Let's be the badasses we used to be.
"Open up the director's chair and it'll change. #hollywood #directing think of all the stories not on screen because women are blocked by the status quo," she added.
