Directors Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola have belittled films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, claiming they’re “despicable” and “not cinema.”
Though Iger divulged he hasn’t “had a relationship” with Scorsese, he expressed an interest in meeting him and clarified his admiration and respect for the veteran auteur, listing a few of his favorite Scorsese creations, including “Goodfellas” and “Taxi Driver.” “I don’t think he’s ever seen a Marvel film,” Iger said. “I would question that. Anyone who’s seen a Marvel film could not, in all truth, make that statement. ... I’m looking forward to talking to him. I’d like to have a glass of wine with him. I like Martin Scorsese. He’s a talented man.”Iger also weighed in on Disney’s controversial handling of another beloved and lucrative brand: “Star Wars.
“I have said publicly that I think we made and released too many ‘Star Wars’ films over a short period of time,” Iger said. “I have not said that they were disappointing in any way. I have not said that I’m disappointed in the performance. I just think that there’s something so special about a ‘Star Wars’ film and less is more.”
Despite his minimalist sentiment, Disney does have multiple “Star Wars” installments in the works, slated for release on the brand’s new streaming service, Disney+. “The Mandalorian,” a spinoff series
Watch it, don't watch it. Who cares!
I don’t think he ever will.
Good for Scorsese. No reason to soil his artistic genius with Iger's virtual theme-park crap.
Ugh. I’m with Scorsese, I’m no fan of Marvel films either. I can’t critique them because I have zero interest in seeing them. I think Bob Igor is trying to sell books
How we so long for that Disneyland Nixon admin! The yesteryears of honesty & kindness!🙄 Now we're really stuck with a total crook in our WH!
