Chris Hemsworth doesn't like directors who trash superhero movies

“These guys also have films that don’t work – we all do.”

Over the years, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola or Ridley Scott were among the great directors tackling superhero films. For them, in Hollywood there would be Marvel on one side and cinema on the other – the real thing. In 2019, in an interview with Empirethe director of Killers of the Flower Moon had thus declared that superhero films were “closer to amusement parks”, and that they were not cinema. Next in his trajectory, Francis Ford Coppola – whose next film Megalopolis will shake the Croisette – had considered these films as “despicable”. As for the father ofAlien and of Gladiatorhe considered their scenarios are “boring as hell.“

Once again questioned about this, Chris Hemsworthaka Thor, responds and defends the MCU.

Francis Ford Coppola returns to his criticisms of Marvel: he really likes Deadpool!

As he prepares to rev the engines at the Cannes Film Festival with Furiosa: A Mad Max Sagathe Australian actor confided in Sunday Times in a long interview in which between two lines about the film and the Alzheimer's disease that he would be genetically predisposed to trigger, he returned to the recent criticisms made of superhero films.

“It's hard. It bothers me, especially when it comes from legends. I find it tiring these people who criticize the superhero universe. These guys also have films that don't work – we all have them. When They were saying everything that's wrong with superheroes, I thought 'cool, tell it to the millions of people watching. Are they all wrong?'”

Although it did not target any person in particular, it is easy to imagine what “legends” he refers, especially since the actor had already expressed his sadness about the comments made by these directors whom he considered his heroes.

Scorsese and Tarantino's comments about Marvel depressed Chris Hemsworth: “They're my heroes…”

Chris Hemsworth also wanted to make things clear: superhero films have not changed cinema, it is rather, according to him, social networks and smartphones. His response surely to the remarks of Quentin Tarantino who spoke of “marvelization” Hollywood films. “Marvel movies are just the symbol of what's happening in the industry right now. There's not much room for anything else. That's my problem.”

For the interpreter of Thor, superhero films played a role after COVID and allowed this transition when theaters reopened. “So they deserve a little appreciation.”

In this war for recognition, Samuel L. Jackson (the Nick Fury of the Avengers) was already fighting and attacking filmmakers who would denigrate Marvel films.

But let Chris rest assured, if Scorsese the others will not rub shoulders with the MCU, George Miller, the director of the saga Mad Max says he is ready to work with him on any project. Maybe even a Thor 5 ?
