It seems Martin Scorsese isn’t about to change his view of Marvel productions anytime soon.

 

The world-renowned filmmaker came in for heavy criticism when he compared MCU juggernauts in the vein of Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home to “theme park” attractions – frivolous, fantastical blockbusters incapable of conveying human emotion. They’re certainly not cinema…. not in Scorsese’s eyes at least.

 

And while promoting The Irishman Martin Scorsese doubled down on his critique, claiming that Marvel Studios films – and any blockbuster cut from the same cloth – are “invading” cinemas, and called on theaters chains to “step up.”

 

It’s not cinema, it’s something else. We should’t be invaded by it. We need cinemas to step up and show films that are narrative films.
