Pulp Fiction and Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Samuel L. Jackson recently responded in an interview about Quentin Tarantino’s opinions on the MCU. Samuel and his wife LaTanya Jackson were promoting the Broadway presentation of The Piano Lesson until the actor was prompted the question. Both the actor and the Once Upon a Time In Hollywood director clearly have different views on the matter, especially since the former does appear in the MCU films and shows as Nick Fury.

“Well, it takes an actor to be those particular characters,” he begins. “The side of movie stardom has always been – asses in seats? What are we talking about? So, that’s not a big controversy for me to know that, well, these actors are movie stars. Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther. You can’t refute that. And he’s a movie star.”

He isn’t the first well-known director to express their views on superhero films. Martin Scorsese once said they weren’t “cinema,” and Ridley Scott claims that he’ll never make one due to the “thin, gossamer tightrope of the non-reality of the situation of the superhero.”
