Let's say Martin Scorsese decides to direct a Marvel film. Which comic/character should it be?
- Thread starter FernandoRocker
- Start date
Have him direct a film about a character that must survive and come to terms in a world post snap.
I mean... The Punisher, I guess? Maybe? I'd say Spider-Man Noir but idk if MCU wants to get into that when they only just managed to get Spidey back temporarily, but if it doesn't need to be MCU, then yeah, Noir.
Martin Scorcese made The Last Temptation of Christ, Silence and Hugo. Why do people act like he only knows how to make crime films?
Cause that's an easy reductionist take on somebody who's been making movies for 40 years.
Because we're talking about what he could do in Marvel, and he's hot off Irishman.
I forgot about Hugo in all honesty, and didn't realize Silence was a Scorcese film. Thought Temptation was the odd one out.
In that case, I'm not really sure.
It would 100% be Daredevil.
New York. Organized Crime. Catholicism.
It's what he gravitates towards in his movies already. (Throw in boxing with Raging Bull as well)

I feel like the first half is true, but then I read read the rest and now I feel ill.
The Irishman is a character drama set to the backdrop of the mafia and organized crime (as are most of his"crime" movies). There's like 2 action scenes (if you even want to call them that) in the entire 3.5 hour movie.
its just feels like either a shallow interpretation, or a misunderstanding, of his career.
BTW, OP on Scorsese's favorite movie list...
he's above making a MCU movie tbh

We're talking about super-heroes here.... those movies are the best samples of what would work bets with action heavy comic characters (Irishman excluded as you're right it is different but imagine Irishman with Frank Castle, it works)..... it's really not that weird.
Can't we let the man make killers of the flower moon?? I would trade that coming out for a whole years slate of mcu content.
Could marvel make a movie where the protagonist has to go through the arc that frank sheeran does?
it doesn't work though. They have totally different origins.

I mean Punisher? like come on.
an OG Fury adaptation of "The Scorpio Connection"
or hell OG Fury Steranko's run.

Punisher would do. You really want a movie with little to no superpowers, with a simple premise that can be used to provide meaningful commentary on a social issue.
Using Punisher to address police brutality could be pretty clever, especially if the main conflict is because police are idolising him and becoming more violent and he has to shut them down because that's not what police are meant to do.
I'm talking about the contemplative aspect of where violent life can go.
I'm not talking about doing Punisher with the literal Irishman plot
This is very true. I... kind of unironically want to see this now.
........... The Sentry. Learn hard into the mental illness of the character and any superhero shit will play out dreamlike with the Void also going back to being more metaphor than a literal monster thing.
