Quentin Tarantino recently appeared on The Howard Stern Show, wherein he opened up about Martin Scorsese's controversial comments on Marvel movies. The Pulp Fiction director mentioned that Scorsese wouldn't be interested in superhero movies, saying,
''He's an old man. You think Scorsese's gonna be into Ant-Man vs the Wasp?''
During the interview, Tarantino also spoke about his love for comics and explained why he thinks Scorsese would not like superhero films. Back in 2019, Martin Scorsese said during an interview with Empire Magazine that he doesn't think Marvel movies are ''cinema.'' He further went on to compare them with theme parks, saying,
''I don’t see them. I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.''
