Quentin Tarantino has made it clear that Marvel movies are not his cup of tea, but actor Simu Liu has reminded the director that the films behind them have provided underrepresented communities a chance to be seen on the big screen unlike ever before.
“If the only gatekeepers to movie stardom came from Tarantino and Scorsese, I would never have had the opportunity to lead a $400 million plus movie,” Liu, the star of Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” wrote on Twitter. “I am in awe of their filmmaking genius. They are transcendent auteurs. But they don’t get to point their nose at me or anyone.” He continued: “No movie studio is or ever will be perfect.
” He also said that the actors who appear in those films are “not movie stars” because its “franchise characters that become a star.” Tarantino clarified before making his comments that he didn’t “hate” Marvel movies but said that he didn’t “love them.” This is not the first time the “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood” director has had harsh words for the behemoth studio’s films – and he hasn’t been alone.
