Parasite director Bong Joon ho speaks on all things, Marvel! Read on to find out what he said!

Bong Joon-ho is ecstatic as his extraordinary feature film Parasite has earned South Korea its first-ever nominations at Oscars 2020. Besides Best Picture and Best Director nominations for Bong, Parasite is also nominated for Best International Feature Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Production Design. While in an interview with the New York Times, Bong revealed that celebrations in South Korea are in full swing as it's rare for an Asian or Korean film to get nominated for an Oscar.

Given the success Bong is currently witnessing on an international scale with Parasite, Variety's The Big Ticket podcast showed the director talking about the possibility of taking on a Marvel movie in the future. "I don't think Marvel would ever want a director like me. I don't expect any offers from them anytime soon," Joon-ho shared candidly while revealing that he enjoyed James Gunn's take on the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise as well as James Mangold's Logan (2017), calling them great directors who can take up great projects. "The film industry seems complicated, but I think it's quite simple for directors. It's just best to do what you're good at. And so I don't really think Marvel and I are suitable for each other. That's something I just intuitively feel," Bong added. Meanwhile, Martin Scorsese made headlines in 2019 for his comments on Marvel movies, calling them "not cinema" and more like "theme parks."
