Kumail Nanjiani and Martin Scorsese
Pakistan-origin actor-comedian Kumail Nanjiani is a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks to his role as Kingo in Eternals, but that doesn’t mean he is in an uproar over directors Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino criticising the ongoing film franchise. “I obviously love the movies Tarantino or Scorsese make. I may disagree with Scorsese’s opinion on superhero movies, but who else has earned the right to have an opinion?”Nanjiani questioned, adding, “If Scorsese hasn’t earned the right to have an opinion on movies, then none of us should [either]. It’s so strange that people get upset about it.”
Scorsese later clarified that his criticism of Marvel has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with exhibition. The Oscar winner expressed worry over how the dominance of Marvel and comic book movies is pushing out smaller movies from being screened in movie theatres. Francis Ford Coppola supported Scorsese’s claims and said Marvel films “lack risk.”
