Scorsese started his anti marvel rant a month ago, the aftermath is more interesting than what he saying about marvel. Its not even newsworthy that scorsese said marvel movies are not cinema, many other directors have said it. perhaps sometimes its the messenger that matters.
In one of his first rants, he called marvel theme parks, he was quickly hit with a question about sexism in his movies, which he shut down hard and fast, I think he knew and understood the press was trying to destroy him because of his marvel comments so they tried to paint him as a sexist.

What happened next got more transparent, Bob Iger took a dig at him and made it about Ryan Coolger and Black Panther. Of all the 25 Marvel films he could mention Iger chose Black Panther as the example to prove Scorsese wrong. Had scorsese responded to black panther negatively he would be a called racist, the same way they tried to make him a sexist.

Scorsese played it wise here not to respond to the CEO of Disney comparing Black Panther to his movies. Again, we are seeing how the press likes to unnecessary start a sexist and racist war based on bs lies because there is no hard evidence out here Scorsese is a racist or a sexist but the media wanted to push that narrative all because he is not a fan of MCU movies.
