Tim Blake Nelson‘s taking the legend of cinema Martin Scorsese to task… saying that he respects the famous director, but that doesn’t mean he thinks he’s right about Marvel.
The actor, who played a small role in 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk,” spoke to Variety On the seminal cinematic universe that Scorsese simply can’t stand… saying he thinks it’s cinema.
Nelson says he thinks Marvel movies hit the mark because they transport viewers back to their youth… allowing audiences to get lost in the film.
TBN admits that they’re not on the same level as “Goodfellas” — a little nod to Marty — but that doesn’t mean they aren’t great movies, especially since they’re meant to entertain anyway.
By the way, the reason Tim is talking about the MCU is because he will finally officially join it in next year’s film, “Captain America: Brave New World.”
The “Hulk” movie he appeared in was supposed to be the second MCU film after “Iron Man,” but it was later scrapped and Edward NortonBruce Banner was replaced by Mark Ruffalo.
Nelson says he was worried he’d never be able to come full circle with his character, Samuel Sterns… and admits he got emotional after completing that journey nearly two decades later.
