Nick Fury’s Samuel L Jackson hit back at Quentin Tarantino, who earlier this month blasted the MCU by calling the actors in Marvel movies “not cinema stars,” in a video posted on YouTube. Many notable Hollywood directors have frequently criticised the franchise for one thing or another.
Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese have already remarked that Marvel movies are not works of art and that the company keeps churning out the same type of material. Many people concurred with them, but some people didn’t. Even Tarantino jumped on board.
On the 2 Bears 1 Cave podcast, the Pulp Fiction director noted, “You have all these actors who have gotten famous playing these roles. That’s part of the Marvelization of Hollywood. They are not nevertheless movie stars. The protagonist is Captain America. The star is Thor. These franchise characters are the ones who get fame. Samuel L. Jackson must now comment on the matter.
For those who are unaware, Samuel L. Jackson has collaborated with both Marvel and Quentin Tarantino. The Avengers actor remarked, “It takes an actor to portray those particular roles, and the indication of cinematic greatness has always been, what, asses in seats? “, during his interview on The View. What are we discussing? It’s not a big controversy for me to know that these actors are reportedly movie stars, Samuel continued.
“Black Panther is Chadwick Boseman. He’s a movie star, so you can’t argue with that,” the actor continued. Simu Liu, who played Shang-Chi in Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings, also addressed Quentin Tarantino’s remarks.
“I would never have had the chance to direct a $400 million+ movie if Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese were the only gatekeepers to movie success. Their mastery of filmmaking astounds me. They are auteurs of transcendence. However, they are not permitted to make fun of me or anyone else, Simu remarked.
