Disney CEO Bob Iger Is Arranging a Sit-Down With Martin Scorsese After Comments Made on Both Sides

Everyone knows about the comments made by director Martin Scorsese last month about how Marvel movies aren’t real cinema and all that jazz. He wrote in the New York Times that Marvel movies lacked “revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger” and contribute to a situation that is “brutal and inhospitable to art.”

In the midst of that, Disney CEO, Bob Iger responded to the comments, as he is over the Marvel properties. He said the comments made by Scorsese were “nasty” and “not fair to the people who are making the movies.” He also said, “If Marty Scorsese wants to be in the business of taking artistic risk, all power to him. It doesn’t mean that what we’re doing isn’t art.”

And in a Time interview, in which Iger was named businessperson of the year, he said his people are reaching out to Marty’s people, and arranging a get together. That sounds perfectly awkward. I don’t think either of their minds can be changed, nor do they really need to be.

But, maybe they can just hang out to make sure there is no bad blood. Go to Disneyland, grab a churro. No one can be mad over churros.
