There is no sign of this standoff coming to an end soon.
The renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has once more attacked Marvel Studios. This time, Tarantino is challenging the Marvel actors’ stardom.

“Part of the Marvel-ization of Hollywood is… you have all these actors who have become famous playing these characters. But they’re not movie stars. Right? Captain America is the star. Or Thor is the star,” Tarantino said in a podcast interview with Tom Segura for his podcast
The venerable filmmaker was eager to clarify that while he “doesn’t despise” Marvel films, he is “not quite as enthused about them” as he would be if they were a part of his 20s.
Although this is not Tarantino’s first hot take on Marvel (he admitted that he has stated it “like a billion times”), it appears that many people share his opinion.

He's 100% right, not to say the Marvel actors/actresses are bad, but when I went to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it wasn't for Tenoch Huerta, Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, Martin Freeman or anyone else — it was to see Black Panther and the MCU story evolve.

However, there is a belief that at least one Marvel actor is a star in his own right, even among those who are willing to support Tarantino. In his case, it was the actor who made the character popular, not the other way around.
Of course, some Marvel stars and a lot of Marvel fans disapproved of Tarantino’s views. The Pulp Fiction director received a prompt response from Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu.
“If the only gatekeepers to movie stardom came from Tarantino and Scorsese, I would never have had the opportunity to lead a $400 million plus movie,” Liu said.
Another legendary American filmmaker who periodically disparages the MCU films is Martin Scorcese.
Even though many people don’t believe it’s a terrible thing that comic book characters are more well-known than the actors who play them, Tarantino seems to have a point.
And tbh its a good thing. We should be wanting actors who portray the Character best, not just some dude who got the job because he has a more popular name.

After all, Marvel offers fantastic opportunities for actors to become famous and real stars, not just in their superhero roles.
