Paul Dano receives support from 'The Batman 2' writer, Simu Liu and others after Quentin Tarantino criticizes him as the 'Worst F—ing Actor in SAG'

Following Quentin Tarantinos harsh remarks labeling Paul Dano as the worst actor in SAG, numerous figures in Hollywood have rallied to defend the actor. Fans and fellow performers took to social media to highlight Danos talent, with Simu Liu, star of Marvels Shang-Chi, posting: I think Paul Dano is an incredible actor.

Mattson Tomlin, co-writing the upcoming The Batman Part II with director Matt Reeves, also voiced his admiration on social media: Its wonderful to see so many people celebrating Paul Dano this week. Hes not only an exceptional actor but also a remarkable director who demonstrates great empathy and command. If you havent seen Wildlife, I highly recommend it.

Dano, who portrayed the Riddler in Reeves The Batman, shares a professional connection with Tomlin. While it remains unconfirmed whether Dano and the Riddler will return for the sequel, early casting discussions have revealed that Scarlett Johansson may play a significant role opposite Robert Pattinsons Batman.

Tarantino criticized Dano during a discussion of There Will Be Blood, which the director ranked as the fifth-best film of the 21st century. Tarantino argued that the film could have been higher on my list if not for a major flawthe flaw being Paul Dano, adding that the movie, intended as a two-hander, suffers from Danos performance. He suggested Austin Butler would have been a better fit and described Dano as weak and uninteresting.

Despite the critique, former child actor Dillon Freasier, who played H.W. Plainview in There Will Be Blood, defended Dano, praising the films casting and calling it a work of art.

The discussion highlights a split in opinion, with many industry figures emphasizing Danos skill and versatility both in front of and behind the camera, underscoring the actors respected status despite Tarantinos controversial statements.
