Francis Ford Coppola, the famed director, said in an interview with GQ. That perhaps the MCU produces the very same type of films. And is harming studio pictures like Dune and No Time To Die. “There used to be studio movies,” says the narrator. There are already Marvel films. And what exactly is a Marvel image? “A Marvel film is a sample film that is produced over and over to seem different,” he explained. “Even brilliant individuals can take Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, produced by…Gary? Cary Fukunaga—extremely talented, brilliant, gorgeous artists, and Therefore no Time to Die, directed by…Gary? Cary Fukunaga—extremely gifted, skilled, wonderful performers.”
“There used to be studio films, now there are Marvel pictures … one prototype movie that is made over and over and over and over and over again to look different"

In Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings, Marvel again reached out towards the east. It also included kung fu in the picture.
