I løbet af det seneste stykke tid har der hersket debat blandt Hollywoods elite om hvorvidt Marvel-film kan betragtes som film overhovedet. Dette skete efter at Martin Scorsese nægtede at referere til MCU-filmene som en del af filmkunsten, og noget tid efter tog Francis Ford Coppola til og kaldte dem noget langt værre.
Nu har Disneys CEO, Bog Iger, kommenteret på sagen, og kalder deres kommentarer "so disrespectful". I Wall Street Journals Tech Live-event i tirsdags sagde Iger:
"It doesn't bother me, except I'm bothered on behalf of the people who work on those movies. It seems so disrespectful to all the people that work on those films, who are working just as hard as the people who work on their films, and are putting their creative souls on the line, just like they are. You tell me, Ryan Coogler making Black Panther is doing something that is somehow less than what Marty Scorsese or Francis Ford Coppola have ever done on any one of their movies. C'mon. There, I said it."
Er det respektløst af de to instruktører?
