“It takes an actor to be those particular characters, and the sign of movie stardom has always been, what, a--es in seats? What are we talking about?”
that Marvel actors are not movie stars. In Tarantino’s view, it’s the character of Captain America that is the movie star and gets people into the theater and not Chris Evans. Jackson somewhat challenged that claim during an interview on “The View” .
“It takes an actor to be those particular characters, and the sign of movie stardom has always been, what, asses in seats? What are we talking about?” Jackson said when asked about Tarantino’s comment. “That’s not a big controversy for me to know that apparently these actors are movie stars. Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther. You can’t refute that, and he’s a movie star.
Jackson has long championed his role of Nick Fury, which he has been playing since he first popped up in the end credits scene of 2008’s “Iron Man.” Speaking to thein June, Jackson said that he’d rather play Nick Fury than take on any Oscar-baiting roles. “I was never going to let the Oscars be a measure of my success or failure as an actor,” Jackson said. “My yardstick of success is my happiness: Am I satisfied with what I’m doing? I’m not doing statue-chasing movies. You know [whispers]: ‘If you do this movie, you’ll win an Oscar.’ No, thanks. I’d rather be Nick Fury. Or having fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand.”
Jackson will return as Nick Fury in the Disney+ limited series “Secret Invasion,” set to stream in 2023.
