Tarantino has lately criticized actors in Marvel movies, saying the real celebrities are the superheroes they play. The director’s favorite comedian and face of Nick Fury in the MCU, Samuel L. Jackson did not fail to respond to the filmmaker.
Quentin Tarantino has just given news of his final film. He also took the opportunity to tackle the actors and actresses raging in the MCU. According to the director, it’s the characters they play who are the real celebrities, not them. “Part of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood is…you have all these actors who rose to fame playing these characters, but they’re not movie stars, are they? Captain America is the star. Or Thor is the star”.
A rowdy statement that has not escaped one of his loyal collaborators: Samuel L. Jackson. As a reminder, the two men have worked together many times. The actor is particularly remembered for his role as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction. It will also include the cast of Jackie Brown, Kill Bill : Volume 2, Inglorious Basterds (narrator), Django Unchained et The Hateful Eight. At the same time, Jackson embodied Nick Fury, patron du S.H.I.E.L.D, in several Marvel movies.
Samuel L. Jackson returns Tarantino to the ropes
On The View, the actor responded to Tarantino’s scathing remarks by expressing his disagreement: “You need an actor to portray these singular characters. And the hallmark of a movie’s success has always been, what, asses on seats? What are we talking regarding ? »underlines the actor before adding: “It’s not a big controversy for me to know that these comedians are movie stars. Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther. You can’t deny it, he’s a movie star. »
A crystal clear answer! Not long ago, the actor was asked regarding the fact that he never had an Oscar (only an honorary Oscar for all his work). Samuel L. Jackson then explained that he was not racing for statuettes. He prefers to take pleasure in blockbusters rather than bet on Oscar-winning roles. “I prefer playing Nick Fury. Or have fun playing Mace Windu with a lightsaber in hand”.
