Cancelled movie star says Hollywood is sick of losing money on 'woke' films as industry set to change under Trump
Daily Mail(UK) ^ | 7/24/25 | Sonia Horon

Kevin Sorbo claims Hollywood is shifting its values after growing sick of losing money on 'woke' films.

The self-proclaimed 'first cancel culture victim' revealed that studios are now reaching out to him, after years of being rejected over his conservative Christian values.

The actor, 66, rose to international fame as the Greek demigod Hercules in the hit show 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,' which ran for six seasons from 1995 to 1999.

Sorbo said that he sees a shift happening within the movie industry under president Donald Trump, in a new interview with Fox News Digital.

'I think people are tired of it, and Hollywood's tired of losing money, like they're going to lose another $300 million on this woke Disney movie with "Snow White."'

'I think the American people are fed up, and I think they showed it in the last election as well. They said enough is enough of this stuff.'

Hopefully Tinseltown takes the hint, but if not oh well.

Even if he is it will take years to see a difference. Movies often have a 2 to 5 year lag to market.

So we are stuck with another few years of trash either way.

Hollywood's tired of losing money

Hollywood's dominated by low IQ posers who are incapable of an original idea. And in order to compensate for lack of originality their dominant theme is political.

This isn't the 60's anymore where audiences will pay to see some kind of civil rights themed drivel and wallow in White Guilt.

This is the 21st century and the new generations refuse to bear guilt for what their ancestors might, or might not have, done.

Not until the comic book movies are killed off..

And that won’t be until they make Robin Batman’s gay lover. And people finally stop going.

Or a conservative movie house starts pumping out hits and Hollywood grudgingly starts to follow along.

Personally I have a pretty good memory when it comes to anti-American actors and directors and they will not see another dime of my money

Hollywood is sick of losing their money, but they fully embraced spending taxpayer money to spread their Leftist agenda.

The 60s gave us My Fair Lady, West Side Story, and The Sound of Music, The Agony and the Ecstasy. The downward trend celebrating depravity and trashing the family became dominant themes with the likes of Bond, but it was the oversexed amoral revolution of the 70s that really got things going once the 60s kids had moved into "adulthood" to pay for movies.

As long as Pedro Pascal is the star of every movie (he has three in theaters right now) then we’ll know they haven’t changed their colors. He’s my litmus test, they love that weird woke wanker.

I just watched a Kevin Sorbo movie last night and liked it very much. Storm Rider (2013). And no, it wasn’t on Netfags.

EVERY SHOW on Netflix now involves some faggotry of some sort.

Yes, I saw Gladiator 2 recently. What a total POS it was. Denzel Washington should be embarrassed.

Denzel Washington has no need to be embarrassed. He is playing Othello on Broadway and it would cost you $1,600 for a seat to see it. I happened by the theater late one evening about a month ago, and the street was literally blocked for thirty yards in either direction by people hoping to catch a glimpse of him after the performance.

HollyWierd is filled with Communists who will never let this happen. It’s not their money they are losing, they all get paid win or lose.

I’ve always wondered if he was ever in a Diddy show...

The film company that Sorbo and his wife started have been doing some good stuff.

It would only be temporary until they stopped losing money, then they’d be full-woke again.
