Tim Blake Nelson doesn't think the MCU is having a detrimental effect on cinema. The actor, who plays The Leader in the Marvel movies, is set to reprise his villainous role in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World.
"Marvel has become this phenomenon that's unprecedented in the history of cinema," Nelson told TheWrap at San Diego Comic-Con. "These scores of movies with characters moving in and out of one another's storylines, coming together, going back apart, fighting against one another in a single universe: it's never happened before in movies. When people attack these movies as, 'Well, it's not real cinema' or, 'It's the death of cinema,' I actually think it's keeping cinema alive, and I really mean that."
