“The Irishman” might be Martin Scorsese’s last film.
“I’m 77 and I’ve got things to do,” he told The Guardian. “I don’t know how many more I can make — maybe this is it. The last one.”
Scorsese went on to repeat his now-infamous criticism of superhero films, which he said were crowding out the market for more serious cinema — like his.
“We are in a situation now where the theatres are only showing the latest superhero films. You have 12 screens — and 11 are the superhero film. You enjoy superhero films, fine, but you need 11 screens?” he said.
Though it received critical acclaim in The Guardian, the film has been more polarizing with audiences.
