Woody Allen screened “Coup de Chance” in Portugal and was also part of a Q&A where he was asked about his stance on Marvel movies. Unsurprisingly, he’s not a fan — absolutely nobody is shocked:
“I'm only theoretically fed up with Marvel movies because I've never seen any. I don't like those budgets, it's an industry that has nothing to do with cinema as an art form."
Over these last few years, I’ve been updating a list of all the directors that have publicly criticized superhero movies. We can now add Allen’s name to this very impressive list, which includes …
Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, David Fincher, Denis Villeneuve, Bong Joon-ho, Lucrecia Martel, David Cronenberg, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, David Fincher, Paul Verhoeven, Terry Gilliam, James Cameron Ridley Scott, James Gray, Jane Campion, Sean Baker, James Mangold, Martin McDonagh, Luc Besson, William Friedkin, Ken Loach, Oliver Stone and John Woo.
