Chris Hemsworth recently addressed the criticisms that some of the acclaimed filmmakers have made against Marvel movies.
For the past few years, the MCU has been the subject of criticism from fans, critics, and even some of the well-respected figures in the industry such as Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola.
The two well-respected filmmakers argued that the dominance of Marvel movies has affected the marketplace and considered them as not real cinema.

Chris Hemsworth Defends Marvel Movies Amid Criticisms

In a recent interview, Hemsworth weighed in on the criticisms that Scorsese and Coppola made against Marvel movies.
He felt that the comments were "harsh" and an "eye-roll" and argued that they made films that also did not work.
"It felt harsh, and it bothers me, especially from heroes. It was an eye-roll for me, people bashing the superhero space," the actor said.
"Those guys had films that didn't work too - we all have. When they talked about what was wrong with superheroes, I thought, cool, tell that to the billions who watch them. Were they all wrong?"
Hemsworth also argued that superhero movies kept the theatrical business going and they deserve to get more recognition.
He added, "And, cinema-going did not change because of superheroes, but because of smartphones and social media. Superhero films actually kept people in the cinemas during that transition and now people are coming back. So they deserve a little more appreciation."
Hemsworth also went on to acknowledge the "superhero curse", saying actors get pigeonholed into such roles. "And if I ever went back to [Thor] I’d wonder how we could change it again. But there is a superhero curse in the sense you get pigeonholed, and I’ve felt a little hamstrung with what I could do, so [I] desperately wanted something to scare the shit out of me. And ‘Furiosa’ did."
As one of the main stars of the MCU, it is understandable to hear Hemsworth's frustration over the criticisms and he made some valid points about the value of superhero movies in the ever-changing moviegoing business.
While the box office of superhero movies recently is no longer on the same level as it was in the past, it is still a reliable genre that could keep the theatrical business afloat amid the current landscape.
