From Normal People to Aftersun, Paul is probably best known for starring in indie smash hits, and he doesn’t see that changing any time soon. “This will be something that I regret saying”, he told GQ, “I feel kind of like ridiculous saying no when it hasn’t been asked, but it’s not something that I am pining to do. I don’t know if I would have the patience required.”
Paul also commented that he didn’t want to stop doing indie dramas to focus on Marvel-like blockbusters, citing Robert Downey Jr. as an example of an actor who has dedicated over a decade of his career to the MCU and very little else. “I think sometimes you have to make a decision to let [other projects] go for five, 10, 15 years and that would be really sad”, he shared.
