More Marvel actors have come out to defend MCU movies after filmmaker Martin Scorsese did not consider them as cinema.
Last week, in an interview with Empire Magazine, Scorsese said that Marvel films are difficult to watch.
"Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with the actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, are theme parks. It's not the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional and psychological experiences to another human being," he expressed.
Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in the MCU, spoke out in defense of Marvel films. "It's like saying Bugs Bunny isn't funny. The films are films. Not everyone loves their movies either. Everyone has an opinion, so that's okay. That's not going to stop people from making movies," said the actor at the opening of a new film studio founded by Tyler Perry.
Filmmaker James Gunn, in charge of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" series, compared Scorsese's critique to Mel Gibson's work dedicated to the death of Jesus.
"I was outraged when people attacked The Last Temptation of Christ without even seeing the movie. It saddens me that now they are judging my films in the same way. That said, I will always love Scorsese, I am grateful for his contribution to cinema, and I can't wait to see The Irishman," he commented.
Finally, Robert Downey Jr., who played Iron Man in the MCU, thanked Scorsese for offering a different perspective on superhero movies.
