Actor David Harbour has lauded the movie Thunderbolts, commending both the film and its cast as “true cinematic experiences,” offering a contrast to Martin Scorsese‘s views on Marvel productions expressed in 2019.

The upcoming Marvel Studios film, titled “Thunderbolts,” is set to hit theaters on May 2, 2025. This action-packed production, helmed by Jake Schreier, brings together an intriguing ensemble of anti-heroes – Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, Red Guardian, Ghost, US Agent, and Taskmaster – who join forces for a dangerous mission.

David Harbor calls Thunderbolts* ‘absolute pure cinema’

Recently, the actor from Stranger Things had a conversation with ScreenRant after the unveiling of the latest Thunderbolts trailer. During an interview meant to publicize his film The Working Man, Harbour expressed appreciation for the way Thunderbolts was showcasing the talented individuals involved in it through its new A24-esque teaser.

David Harbour enthusiastically endorsed Thunderbolts* by calling it “thrilling” and stating, “I believe it serves as a boost for what’s coming next from Marvel, and yes, it features some highly-acclaimed actors like Florence Pugh. It’s important to note that. Sebastian Stan. In fact, the list of credits is astonishing. The accolades, the glamour, it’s nothing short of a cinematic masterpiece.

The actor’s statement about “cinema” contradicts Director Martin Scorsese’s views on Marvel movies as expressed in his 2019 interview with Empire. In that interview, Scorsese stated that he doesn’t watch Marvel movies and considered them more like theme parks rather than cinema. He said, “They aren’t the cinema of human experiences trying to evoke emotional or psychological responses from the audience.
