“Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther, and he’s a true movie star.”
Superhero movies have redefined the concept of commercial cinema so far in the 21st century and, year after year, they become the highest grossing and most popular films on the billboard. maybe that’s why Quentin Tarantino thinks that we are in the worst era of cinema, together with the 50s and 70s, and recently made statements in which he criticized the star system of Hollywood stating that “there are no movie stars anymore“.
Samuel L Jacksona regular collaborator with Quentin Tarantino and Nick Fury on Marvel’s MCU, has responded to the filmmaker defending Marvel: “It takes a great actor to bring those particular characters to life, and the sign of movie stardom has always been, what , asses in the seats? What are we talking about? It’s not a huge controversy for me to know that obviously these actors are movie stars. Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther. You can’t refute that, and he’s a movie star..”
Tarantino’s exact statements were as follows: “Part of the ‘marvelization’ of Hollywood is…you have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters,” Tarantino said. “But They are not movie stars. TRUE? Captain America is the star. Or Thor is the star. I mean, I’m not the first person to say that. I think that’s been said a million times… but it’s like, you know, it is these franchise characters who become stars, not the actors.”
Tarantino is not exactly a hater of Marvel and the world of comics, having repeatedly declared his admiration for heroes like Luke Cage. But he feels they’re “the only things that seem to generate any kind of excitement among the fans or even for the studio that makes them. That’s what they’re excited about. And it almost feels like they are the only representation of the movies of this era. There really isn’t much room for anything else. That’s my problem.”
And you do you think? Are the stars the characters or the actors who play them? Leave us your opinion in social networks.
