While promoting his new book Cinema Speculation, Quentin Tarantino joined a relatively new chorus of filmmakers - including Martin Scorsese - in bashing Marvel Studios superhero movies... and now Simu Liu is fighting back.
The 59-year-old filmmaker revealed in a recent interview that the 'Marvelization of Hollywood' meant that the characters - such as Captain America and Thor - are the stars, not the actual actors (Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth).
One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's newest stars - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu - blasted both Tarantino and Scorsese for their assertions in a pair of tweets on Tuesday.

'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 began in his tweet, referring to Shang-Chi's $432 million worldwide gross.
'I am in awe of their filmmaking genius. They are transcendent auteurs. But they don't get to point their nose at me or anyone,' Liu continued.
