The veteran filmmaker had recently started a debate around Marvel movies after he branded them as "theme park experience" and "not cinema.

"I don't see them. I tried, you know? But that's not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks," the filmmaker told Empire.

He later elaborated on his comment in a New York Times op-ed, saying he was not questioning the talent of the people behind superhero films but the absence of "revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger" in the movies.

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn shared the picture on Instagram, calling it ‘hilarious’ and sharing a picture of Francesca's IG story wrote, "This is Martin Scorsese’s daughter’s wrapping paper for her dad. Makes me feel less strange about the Shutter Island wallpaper my nephew wrapped my gifts in."

Till now, multiple actors and filmmakers associated with Marvel have responded to Scorsese’s criticism. Recently, Joker director Todd Phillips too reacted on the same and said Scorsese was making a fair point.
