Martin Scorsese's Prodigy Revels in Marvel Movie Jokes

While unveiling his latest cinematic endeavour, Killers of the Flower Moon, the esteemed Martin Scorsese has been engaging with a younger audience, potentially wary of his signature lengthy films. Exciting collaborations have included a vibrant dialogue with Gen Z icon Timothée Chalamet, an official welcoming into the Letterboxd community, and entertaining TikToks featuring his 23-year-old daughter, Francesca Scorsese. Yet, the legendary director has expressed his dissent for one popular youth craze: Marvel movies.

In a notable statement back in October 2019, Scorsese remarked that Marvel films are "not cinema". He subtly elaborated on his standpoint in a New York Times op-ed, conceding that while Marvel movies may house traditional cinematic components, they lack the "revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger" he associates with true cinema. He stresses that with these movies, "Nothing is at risk."

It's particularly interesting to observe this perspective in light of Francesca's light-hearted TikTok posts. A recent clip, dubbed "The Muse", playfully showcases Scorsese's affection for Francesca's schnauzer, Oscar, with Francesca sharing in an interview, "My dad adores him and he adores my dad. He kind of looks like my dad too."

Responding with humor, Joe Russo, a director of multiple Marvel blockbusters, created a tongue-in-cheek retort that played on Scorsese's pet name choice. In Russo's reprisal, he quips that his own dog is named "Box Office."

Francesca hasn't held back in teasing her father about his stance on Marvel. She once swathed all his Christmas gifts in Marvel-themed wrapping paper and shared the mischief on Instagram Stories. Contemplating further mischief, she jokes, "People keep telling me to get him a Marvel cake. I'm like, 'He might kill me.'"

Regarding the ongoing conversation about the place of Marvel films in cinema, Francesca exercises diplomacy. After watching the Marvel anthology during COVID, she admits to understanding the movies a bit better, commenting in GQ, "I do very much stand with my dad, but... some of them are fun."

Francesca hinted at another joint venture with her father, apart from playful banter—an upcoming book they've been commissioned to write by A24. It will explore her cinematic upbringing under Scorsese's influence and its impact on her as an individual and an artist.
