Chris Hemsworth Was Bothered by Scorsese and Coppola’s Marvel Criticism as It ‘Felt Harsh’ and ‘Was an Eye-Roll,’ Says ‘Superhero Curse’ Exists in That ‘You Get Pigeonholed’


Chris Hemsworth says Martin Scorsese's Marvel criticisms bothered him because comic book movies did not kill the moviegoing experience.

Chris Hemsworth expressed frustration in an interview with The Times of London over Marvel criticisms made by some directors he considers to be personal heroes such as Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola. In his interview with The Times of London, Hemsworth rebuked Scorsese and Coppola’s criticisms and said “cinema-going did not change because of superheroes, but because of smartphones and social media. Hemsworth has been making the press rounds in support of “Furiosa,” George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel that is world premiering at the Cannes Film Festival ahead of its theatrical release this month.
