'Yellowstone' Creator Taylor Sheridan Slams Marvel Movies and Studio Execs: 'It Didn't Used to Be This Way'
Sheridan said executives know nothing about story and faulted Marvel for information-dump scripts while promoting his new book.
- On Tuesday, Taylor Sheridan appeared on The Bill Simmons Podcast to criticize studio and network executives, calling them "marketing executives, for the most part" lacking storytelling expertise.
- Sheridan argued that modern executives prioritize control, demanding character synopses "before we meet the character" and stifling productions with endless rewrites because they lack creative experience.
- The creator also slammed Marvel for relying on "information dumps" instead of moving plots with action, and admitted to intentionally "rage-bait" critics, citing Demi Moore's casting in Landman's first season.
- While his work is often overlooked for awards, Sheridan noted he isn't seeking Emmys, having signed a film and television deal with NBCUniversal worth as much as $1 billion starting in 2029.
- Residing in Texas and Wyoming, Sheridan dismissed returning to Los Angeles for production, claiming the city is "built on sand" and lacks the storytelling focus he prioritizes.
