Actor Tim Blake Nelson Says Martin Scorsese’s Wrong About Marvel

Actor Tim Blake Nelson Says Martin Scorsese’s Wrong About Marvel

Tim Blake Nelson‘s taking film legend Martin Scorsese to task … saying he respects the famed director — but, that doesn’t mean he thinks he’s right about Marvel.

The actor — who played a small role in the 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk” — spoke with Variety about the seminal cinematic universe Scorsese just can’t stand … saying he believes it’s cinema.

Nelson says he believes Marvel movies meet the threshold because they transport the viewers back to their youth … allowing the audience to lose themselves in the flick.

TBN admits they’re not on the same level as “Goodfellas” — a little nod to Marty — … but, that doesn’t mean they aren’t great movies, especially since they aim to entertain anyway.

The reason Tim’s talking about the MCU BTW … he’s finally officially joining it in next year’s film, “Captain America: Brave New World.”

The ‘Hulk’ movie he appeared in was supposed to be the second MCU film after “Iron Man” — but, it was later scrapped and Edward Norton‘s Bruce Banner was recast with Mark Ruffalo.

Nelson says he worried he’d never get closure for his character, Samuel Sterns … and admits he got emotional after completing this journey nearly two decades later.

Of course, Scorsese’s derision at the MCU’s well-documented … and other stars have called out the superhero staple recently too — including Jamie Lee Curtis who straight up says it’s bad these days.

JLC apologized … but Ryan Reynolds — MCU’s new darling after his movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” shredded box office competition — came to her defense.

Sounds like stars are still split on this question … let’s help them out!

Are Marvel Movies Cinema?
