He reportedlytold BBC 5 Live, The mystery that Scorsese is talking about is inBlack Panther.
We felt that angst.
We felt that thing you would feel from cinema when we watched it, he said.

Fellow Marvel starsScarlett JohanssonandChris Evansshared their two cents on the matter while promoting their respective new projects.
Johansson, who plays Black Widow in the MCU,toldVarietyshe finds the commentary sad.
Captain Americastar Evans added, I think original content inspires creative content.
I think new stuff is what keeps the creative wheel rolling.
I just believe theres room at the table for all of it.
Its like saying a certain jot down of music isnt music.
Who are you to say that?
He added, Everybody has a different definition of cinema.
Everybody has a different definition of art.
Everybody has a different definition of risk.
Some people dont think its cinema.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion.
Everyone is entitled to repeat that opinion.
Everyone is entitled to write op-eds about that opinion, and I look forward to what will happen next.
But in the meantime, were going to keep making movies.
They are going to try and keep making it again and again.
He said, I am not suggesting that we subsidize films.
But thats exactly what hes suggesting.
That would be amazing.
Thats really the crux of this conversation.
Avengers: Endgamedirectors Joe and Anthony Russo are also adding their opinion about Scorsese.
And the emotions they felt watching it.
I wouldnt be doing what Im doing if they didnt carve the way.
They served as a source of inspiration; you’re able to go all the way back toSwingers…
They can express whatever opinion they like.
Of course its cinema!
Its at the movies.
Its in cinemas… he said while pointing at the camera, near you!
Now I feel better.
Now I feel less alone, so how can you say these movies are not helping people?
I remember a great uncle to whom I was raving about Star Wars.
Superheroes are simply todays gangsters/cowboys/outer space adventurers.
Some superhero films are awful, some are beautiful.
AvengersandAge of UltrondirectorJoss Whedonsingled out Gunns work when responding to Scorsese in early October.
He tweeted, I first think of @JamesGunn, how his heart & guts are packed into GOTG.
It is this very large, multiheaded hydra at this point, he told Stern.
As to whether Marvel movies are cinema, he said, I mean, it plays in theaters.
I appreciate [Scorseses] opinion.
Thats kind of like saying Bugs Bunny aint funny,Jackson toldVariety.
You know, everybody doesnt like his stuff either.
I mean, we happen to, but everybody doesnt.
There are a lot of Italian-Americans that dont think he should be making films about them like that.
Everybodys got an opinion, so its okay.
Its not going to stop anyone from making movies.
Theyre entitled to their opinions.
And I agree, we dont one King to rule them all and have kind of a monopoly.
