Christopher Nolan shares his gratitude for what the Marvel Cinematic Universe has done for the movie industry. Nolan has previous superhero movie experience, with the director having helmed DC's acclaimed The Dark Knight trilogy. While some of the worst MCU movies and series in the eyes of fans and critics have come in recent years — with the MCU's Phases 4 & 5 being the franchise's most controversial — Nolan has nothing but praise for Marvel.

Speaking to The New York Times, Nolan commented on how MCU movies helped Hollywood in relation to the COVID pandemic. As a staunch supporter of movies and the theatrical experience, it is easy to see why Nolan views Marvel's films in high regard. MCU entries like 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home — which almost broke the $2 billion mark at the global box office — helped keep the industry afloat after the pandemic. Marvel's only 2024 movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, seems poised to be another $1 billion MCU hit, taking millions to theaters like Nolan wants. Check out the full quote below:
