MCU films have a lot of fan following all over the world. It is based on Marvel comics but everyone knows that the makers tweak a lot of things in their storytelling to make it different than comics.

Now, our ‘Captain America’ Chris Evans has reacted to the same.

In The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter Podcast, Chris Evans said that some people are still getting used to the kind of films Marvel makes. But that doesn’t mean what MCU makes isn’t special. The Avengers: Endgame actor said, “We may be a little bit too accustomed to the structure now so I think it’s easy to sweep it into the same category as films of that nature. But I really do think they stand apart. And the calibre of talent they attract is a testament to that.”

Meanwhile, last year, acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese had criticised MCU films. The Oscar-winning director had said that these superhero movies are not cinema to him. He compared MCU films with theme park and said they movies are for kids. His statements didn’t go down well with the fandom all over the world.
