Captain America: Brave New World star Tim Blake Nelson has the ideal reaction for people who think “Marvel is not real cinema.”
Star of Incredible Hulk, speaking to The Wrap at San Diego Comic-Con, “Marvel has become this phenomenon that’s unprecedented in the history of cinema.”
He said, “These scores of movies with characters moving in and out of one another’s storylines, coming together, going back apart, fighting against one another in a single universe: it’s never happened before in movies.”
“When people attack these movies as, ‘Well, it’s not real cinema’ or, ‘It’s the death of cinema,’ I actually think it’s keeping cinema alive, and I really mean that.”The retort was directed towards the mounting disapproval of the MCU from prominent figures in Hollywood, such as Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese.
Not to mention that the comic book franchise has been dealing with “superhero fatigue” for a number of years, according to Avengers director Anthony Russo.
“I believe it’s just overall weariness. Superhero fatigue was a topic long before we started working on it, he told GamesRadar+. “So, it’s sort of an eternal complaint, like we always used to cite this back in our early days with superhero work.”
