While at the 2019 Governors Awards, Avengers: Endgame screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely were asked about the Marvel criticisms made by Scorsese, specifically the fact that the director said Marvel films were "not cinema."Markus prefaced his statement by saying that everyone is entitled to their opinion. "But, clearly this movie (Endgame) has reached a great number of people and has pleased a great number of people in a way, I have to say, in a way a movie has not for a long time. And if that's not cinema, I don't know what is."All sorts of movies for all sorts of people," added McFeely. "This one seemed like it was for a lot of people."
McMarkus and McFeely are responsible for penning a number of films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, 2013's Thor: The Dark World, 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and 2018's Avengers: Infinity War. They also created Marvel's Agent Carter series for ABC.
