"We don't come across too many historical epics, or epics in general these days. With their huge budgets and complicated production plans, they're often a pain to make, and with their lengthy runtime they aren't the biggest audience catchers, so it makes sense we don't see them too often and when we do, it is most likely part of a big franchise or attached to a famous name.
Their large scale with spectacular sets and impressive ensemble casts are quite the sight to behold. These last years, we did see plenty epics in the form of Superhero films like the Avengers films and we did also get a bunch of top-notch war epics like Dunkirk and 1917. Although these latter examples, the war epics, are historical epics as well, they are talked about more than enough already."
