if there is no blood during action fights. The story gonna have to be hella good.OK im interested to see what he has up his sleeve
Dude is so full of himself.....lol.Quentin Tarantino Gets Blowback for Saying Marvel Actors “Not Movie Stars”
In an interview with Tom Segura for his podcast, 2 Bears 1 Cave, Tarantino was asked about the what-should-be-entirely-safe topic of Marvel movies.
“I don’t love them,” Tarantino said. “No, I don’t. I don’t hate them. But I don’t love them. I mean, look, I used to collect Marvel comics like crazy when I was a kid. There’s an aspect that if these movies were coming out when I was in my twenties, I would totally be fucking happy and totally love them. [But] they wouldn’t be the only movies being made, they would be those movies amongst other movies. I’m almost 60 so I’m not quite as excited about them.”
Segura noted Marvel movies often feel like a “carbon copy” of previous MCU films, adding “you’re never taken somewhere you don’t expect.”
“My only axe to grind is they’re the only things that seem to be made,” Tarantino said. “And they’re the only things that seem to generate any kind of excitement amongst a fan base or even for the studio making them … So it’s just the fact that they are the entire representation of this era of movies right now. There’s not really much room for anything else. That’s my problem. It’s a problem of representation.”
“Part of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood is you have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters,” he added. “But they’re not movie stars. Right? Captain America is the star. Thor is the star. I’m not the first person to say that. I think that’s been said a zillion times, but it’s these franchise characters become a star.”
“Back in 2005, if an actor stars in a movie that does as good as the Marvel movies do, then that guy’s an absolute star,” he continued. “It means people dig him or her and they like them and want to see them in stuff. Sandra Bullock is in Speed and everyone thought she’s amazing in it. Everyone fell in love with her … They were excited by Sandra Bullock and wanted to see her in something else. That’s not the case now. We want to see that guy [keep] playing Wolverine or whatever.”

The criticism doesn't make sense. I can understand not liking Marvel or superhero movies, like Scorsese, but to say the actors aren't "movie stars" is nonsense.Quentin Tarantino Gets Blowback for Saying Marvel Actors “Not Movie Stars”

I think he means they don't make movie stars...that the actors who star in these huge blockbuster comicbook films don't make much of an impression for other roles. Are people as excited to see them play other roles as the are seeing them play heroes?The criticism doesn't make sense. I can understand not liking Marvel or superhero movies, like Scorsese, but to say the actors aren't "movie stars" is nonsense.
There have been bigger stars in MCU than in any of Tarantino's films. Annette Benning, Glen Close, Robert Redford, Forest Whittaker, Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Goldblum, etc.
Those actors are supporting roles in mcu.The criticism doesn't make sense. I can understand not liking Marvel or superhero movies, like Scorsese, but to say the actors aren't "movie stars" is nonsense.

I think there's SOME validity to that.
Good points. We'll never know now unfortunately, but I think Chadwick Boseman could've been an example of someone using Marvel to launch their career.Those actors are supporting roles in mcu.
Anyone rushing out to see a Chris Hemsworth movie?
Chris Evans?
Jeremy Renner?
Etc
Shit even Robert Downey has been dropping duds post marvel
He was definitely on his way upGood points. We'll never know now unfortunately, but I think Chadwick Boseman could've been an example of someone using Marvel to launch their career.
The movies he did before the MCU, with the possible exception of 42, really didn't do so well. He became a megastar after Black Panther.

Man that 2nd week dropoff for BP2 was huge, I guess the online backlash is real.![]()

You can add Tom Holland, Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Majors to that list... These are the main actors I see getting that big Hollywood push outside of Marvel...
2023 is about to be Majors's year...
Lovecraft open the door but just the anticipation of his MCU role is about to push him to star maybe megastar...
Winston Duke is about to get a Hollywood push too...
But truthfully a lot of these "stars" take shitty movies just to cash out while they hot...

Outside of Sam Jackson, Tarantino himself never really launched anyone's career in that way he's talking about.But they aren't movie stars in the way tarantino means.
People aren't hyped for a Tom Holland movie.
Tom cruise, yea
I don't think he was saying he did.Outside of Sam Jackson, Tarantino himself never really launched anyone's career in that way he's talking about.
In the same film he launched Sam Jackson.I don't think he was saying he did.
But he did revive john Travolta from the abyss lol
She just mad her husband doesnt want to get that Batman money anymore![]()
The one with Ben Affleck? That shit was awful. I hope Marvel doesn't go that route. Blade doesn't need nudity or much profanity but it needs to be bloody. Can't do that in PG-13.I like the fact that Marvel decided to stick with Blade's darker grittier style, they can still make it PG-13 kinda like that Daredevil movie.
