Actor Tim Blake Nelson says Martin Scorsese is wrong about Marvel

Tim Blake Nelsontakes movie legend Martin Scorsese to say he respects the famous director, but that doesn’t mean he thinks he’s right about Marvel.

The actor, who had a small role in 2008’s ‘The Incredible Hulk’, spoke with Variety about the groundbreaking cinematic universe that Scorsese just can’t stand… saying he believes is cinema.

Nelson says he believes Marvel films meet the threshold because they take viewers back to their youth… allowing the audience to lose themselves in the film.

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

By the way, the reason Tim is talking about the MCU is because he’s finally officially involved in next year’s movie, “Captain America: Brave New World.”

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

Nelson says he feared he would never get closure for his character, Samuel Sterns… and admits he became emotional after completing this journey nearly two decades later.

Of course, Scorsese’s mockery of the well-documented… and other stars of the MCU lately has also favored superheroes – including Jamie Lee Curtis who honestly says that things are bad these days.

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

It seems stars are still divided on this question… let’s help them!
