Actor Chris Hemsworth, who played Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), says Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola’s accusations of hero movies “felt severe” when he heard them.
When Scorsese claimed that the MCU films were more like theme park trips than visual experiences in 2019, he stoked the ire of thousands of Marvel fans. ” I tried, you know? But that’s not cinema”, Scorsese , told Empire Magazine. ” Actually, the closest I can think of them, while also made as they are, with celebrities doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It is not the film of people trying to convey to another person their mental or emotional experience.
After mounting condemnation and charges of snobbishness, Scorsese penned a long and , heartfelt ops- ed , in The New York Times where he clarified his place, lamenting how pragmatic the business has become.
Later, famous producer Francis Ford Coppola ( The Godfather, Apocalypse Now ) took the Marvel censure even further when he called the movie “despicable“. The two were joined in their frustrations by filmmaker managers Ken Loach, Quentin Tarantino, and Terry Gilliam.
Speaking with , the Times of London,  , Hemsworth said the managers were out of range.

” It bothers me, especially from soldiers. It was an vision- roll for me, individuals bashing the hero area”, Hemsworth said. ” Those guys had films that did n’t work too — we all have. When they talked about what was wrong with characters, I thought, great, tell that to the billion who watch them. Were they all incorrect”?
Hemsworth attributed the reduction in film to social media and phones.
” Superhero movies actually kept individuals in the theaters throughout that change, and then people are returning. So they deserve a little more appreciation”, he said.
Hemsworth also criticized various World players who left the Disney-owned company after they left, such as Christian Bale and Anthony Hopkins.
” It’s, like,’ They’re pictures that are effective — put me in one. Oh, mine did n’t work? I’ll vilify them,'” Hemsworth said.
Then, he made a comparison between this and before in his job when he appeared on Home and Away in Australia.
” It used to trouble me when actors would eventually vent their guilt or pity about the show. Sincerity goes a long way”, Hemsworth said, referencing his time on the soap theater. One of the older actors on Home and Away said,” We do n’t get paid to make the good lines sound good, but to make the bad ones work.” That endured in me.
