Since 2008, Marvel has largely been dominant at the box office. But the franchise has been on the receiving end of criticism by some of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers.
Francis Ford Coppola is the latest icon to voice his views. Speaking to GQ, Coppola clearly isn't the biggest fan of the comic book juggernaut.
Francis Ford Coppola Slams Marvel Movies, Calling Them Repetitive "Prototypes"
The Godfather creator comments highlight the evolution of Hollywood blockbusters, particularly Marvel movies by deeming them repetitive:
Coppola even calls out No Time to Die and even the recent Oscar-nominated, Dune, stating how they look somewhat similar to each other.
The Apocalypse Now filmmaker asserts that scenes from each picture can be compiled together and would still flow:
Coppola's views seem to reflect Martin Scorsese's opinions from a couple of years ago. The Goodfellas director initially called Marvel films "theme parks" and took the internet by storm.
Coppola is making a return to blockbuster filmmaking, by self-funding a $120 million project. Megalopolis is an ambitious, globe-trotting love story that starts filming soon:
Meanwhile, Disney is prepping its next MCU project with Moon Knight set to premiere in March. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the next film to hit cinemas and will kickstart 2022's summer.
