Quentin Tarantino SLAMS Marvel actors, says they are not real 'movie stars'

Tarantino seems to be agreeing with Aniston’s sentiment here and revealed that all the movie actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have become “famous” for the characters they have played over the years, but also noted that they are “not” movie stars.

“Part of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood is…you have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters. But they’re not movie stars. Right? Captain America is the star. Or Thor is the star. I mean, I’m not the first person to say that. I think that’s been said a zillion times…but it’s like, you know, it’s these franchise characters that become a star,” Tarantino said during a recent conversation on “2 Bears, 1 Cave” podcast (via Variety).

The filmmaker didn’t stop here and went on to say that Chris Evans is “not” the star, but it’s actually ‘Captain America’ who is the real star. He added, “I’m not even putting them down frankly, to tell you the truth. But that is one of the — the legacy of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood movies.”

However, he has clarified that he doesn’t “hate” Marvel movies, but feels disheartened when he sees that Hollywood is only interested in making only superhero movies these days.

In recent weeks, the ‘Django Unchained’ helmer has said a lot of things about the movie industry and believes that the ‘current era’ is the “worst in Hollywood history.” On the other hand, the filmmaker won’t be making a Marvel movie in his career because he feels that Marvel directors are “hired hands” and he is “not” looking out for a job.

Such comments have managed to start a conversation among viewers as to how there’s superhero movies fatigue. In a recent study, it was found that Marvel and DC fans might be feeling a sense of fatigue over the projects that are being released in theatres. Over one-third of Marvel fans feel that they were fatigued by the franchise, but they would still consider watching anything that gets produced by Marvel.
