I’m sure a bunch of 15-year-old kids would way rather I do ’Superbad 2’ than ’Moneyball.’ But I would love to do movies like ’Superbad’ and movies like ’Moneyball.’

Hill contrasts audience expectations with his own artistic ambitions. By invoking “Superbad 2,” he nods to the commercial pull of repeating a beloved teen-comedy persona, while “Moneyball” represents a more mature, prestige-oriented path. The quote frames his career not as a choice between “serious” and “fun,” but as a desire to move fluidly between them—valuing range over typecasting. It also hints at the tension actors face between fan demand (especially younger viewers who want familiar comedy) and personal growth, suggesting that creative fulfillment can include both broad comedy and dramatic, character-driven work.
