Prepare For A Fresh Marvel Perspective From Quentin Tarantino

Prepare For A Fresh Marvel Perspective From Quentin Tarantino: The momentous day Martin Scorsese initially said he wasn’t much into Marvel movies was just three short years ago. But since then, many other acclaimed filmmakers—such as Ridley Scott, Bong Joon-Ho, and Francis Ford Coppola—have declared their membership in this merry gang of super-haters.

You have all these actors who have gotten famous playing these characters, but they’re not movie stars. That’s part of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood. The “2 Bears 1 Cave” podcast interviewed the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood filmmaker (via Variety).

The star is Captain America, he continued. Perhaps the star is Thor. I mean, I’m certainly not the first to say that. That has probably been stated a gazillion times. However, these franchise characters are the ones who gain notoriety. He still likes those muscular men, so don’t worry.

They are the only things that, at least for the studio producing them, seem to thrill fans in any way. They are thrilled about that. Therefore, the simple truth is that they perfectly encapsulate this current cinematic era. There isn’t much room left for anything else. That’s my issue.
