Martin Scorcese recently revealed in an interview he had with Empire that he thinks Marvel movies and the superhero genre of movies in general are - and I quote - “not cinema,” and a lot of people feel a certain way about it.

Brightburn is a 2019 science-fiction horror/thriller produced by James Gunn, respectively written by his brother and cousin Brian and Mark Gunn, and directed by David Yarovesky.
