Talking in the same, Robert Downey Jr had said that Martin Scorsese’s comments made “no sense” because Marvel films play in cinemas.

“I mean it plays in theatres. I appreciate his opinion because I think it's like anything, we need all of the different perspectives so we can come to centre and move on.”
