Burton famous that Disney is now largely centered on its tentpole franchises primarily inside the Star Wars and Marvel cinematic universes and of his potential involvement within the MCU sooner or later, he mentioned probabilities have been slim.

“I can solely cope with one universe, l can’t cope with a multi-universe,” he mentioned.

That film is kind of autobiographical at a sure degree.”
