Nick Fury actor Samuel L. Jackson responds to Quentin Tarantino's claims that Marvel Cinematic Universe actors aren't real movie stars. After getting its start in 2008, the MCU has found itself at the center of much debate in recent years as filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola have criticized the franchise for essentially not being real cinema.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now, in a recent interview on The View , Jackson offers his response to Quentin Tarantino's claims that MCU actors aren't movie stars. Jackson and Tarantino are frequent collaborators, having worked together on projects like Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, and The Hateful Eight, but it would seem that, when it comes to this particular issue, the two don't necessarily agree.
"It takes an actor to be those particular characters, and the sign of movie stardom has always been, what, asses in seats? What are we talking about?. That's not a big controversy for me to know that apparently these actors are movie stars. Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther. You can't refute that, and he's a movie star.
Chris Hemsworth is another example of a star who largely made it big because he took on the role of Thor in 2011. Now, more than 10 years later, Hemsworth undeniably fits the criteria of a movie star, heading Extraction and its upcoming sequel in addition to serving as the central villain in Furiosa, a forthcoming Mad Max prequel movie.
While Tarantino's argument against MCU actors isn't completely without merit, it also quickly falls apart when looking at more obscure Marvel heroes like the Guardians of the Galaxy. That particular superhero team wasn't very well known before James Gunn's 2014 hit, and it was actors like Christ Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, and Dave Bautista who brought that team to life and turned them into fan-favorite heroes.
