Does the anti-hero have a future in film, TV and books? From Tony Soprano to Tony Stark, from Sex in the City to Gone Girl, we live in a golden age of antiheroes—on the big screen, in books, and on TV. But has the antihero run its course—and if so, what could possibly replace it? Will we ever want to watch just-plain-heros again? A discussion/debate with New York Times film critic A.O. Scott, New YorkerTV critic Emily Nussbaum, award-winning author Megan Abbott, and Adam Sternbergh, editor at New York magazine and the author of Shovel Ready and Near Enemy.
