Burton, known for his work on fantasy horror films such as “Beetlejuice” and “Corpse Bride” stated that Disney is now focusing on their Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars franchises. He says, “It’s become very homogenous, very consolidated. There’s less room for different kinds of things.”

During the interview, Burton was asked if he would ever direct a Marvel movie if given the chance, and he said no. The director said, “I can only deal with one universe, I can’t deal with multiple universes.” Burton also revealed that Disney has “hired and fired” him several times and that he may not be working with the studio anytime soon.
Burton cited his experience making the 2019 live-action adaptation of “Dumbo” for Disney. He said, “The Dumbo thing, that’s why I think my days with Disney are done.

At the festival, Burton was recognized with the Prix Lumière award and told Deadline that the occasion “recharged” his love of film and cinema. Several Hollywood stars have also received the Prix Lumière, including Jane Campion, Clint Eastwood, and Martin Scorsese.
Burton said, “That’s why this festival is so great because it’s purely about cinema, not business or awards or anything else. All the studio execs should be forced to come here to get them fired up. To remind them of why they wanted to make a film in the first place. It should be part of their job.”

At a film masterclass before the festival, Burton suggested that he has no plans to be involved in a reboot of “Beetlejuice,” his 1988 cult classic. The film Plan B was revealed to Deadline earlier this year that it was developing a sequel to “Beetlejuice.” However, he later retracted his statement, saying that “nothing is out of the question.”
Burton also said, “I only know if I’m making a movie when I’m actually on set. I try to go back to the source of everything. It grows from a seed and then it grows, not from these facts. I’m working on ideas and things but it’s still early days. We’ll determine how it goes. What about the non-existent answer?”
