Eternals star Kumail Nanjiani defends Martin Scorsese’s right to call out Marvel
"Who🍌 else has earned the ri𝓰ght to have an opinion?"

Martin Scorsese’s Marvel comments are still causing controversy, though one Marvel star says they still admire the director. Eternals actor Kumail Nanjiani defended the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s right to say whꦐatever he likes about superhero movies, even if he doesn’t agree with it.
"I obviously love the movies Tarantino makes or Scorsese makes," Nanjiani told . "And I may disagree with Scorsese's opinion on sꦕuperhero movies, but I mean, who else has earned the right to have an opinion? If Scorsese hasn't earned the right to have an opinion on movies, then none of us should have an opinion on movies. It's so strange that people get upset about it."
Scorsese has been 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:open about his thoughts on superhe🐼ro movies, comparing them to "an amusement🦩 park" in the past. He told back in 2019: "My concern is losing the screens to massive th🎶eme park films, which I say again, they're [their] own new art form. Cinema now is changing."
Other directors have echoed Scorsese’s comments, with both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Quentin Tarantino and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:🐽Francis Ford Coppola criticizing Marvel movies. Other MCU stars like Simu Liu, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Robert Downey Jr., and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Samuel L. Jackson have called out the comments as well.
Nanjiani played Kingo in the MCU, one of the cosmically powered Eternals in Chloé Zhao’s 2021 movie. The actor recently told Total Film in our latest issue (with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Luther: The Fallen Sun on the cover) how he&🦹rsquo;d love to return to the role, but ad𝄹mitted he’s yet to hear from Marvel about it.
