In the past, actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson criticized Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. More recently, Gibson has now taken aim at Marvel Studios and its highly popular films. Speaking to The Washington Post, Gibson claimed that Marvel Studios’ films are “more violent” than any of the films he’s ever done.

Gibson was asked about the violence in the film in contrast to the film’s main character, Desmond Doss, who is a pacifist. Doss is an American soldier and Christian, who refused to fire a weapon during World War II. He later was awarded the Medal of Honor after saving 75 fellow soldiers during the Battle of Okinawa.

Gibson defended his film, and he criticized how modern movies now include “violence without a conscience.” He stated, “To talk about the violence question, look at any Marvel movie. They’re more violent than anything that I’ve done, but [in my movies,] you give a s— about the characters, which makes it matter more. That’s all I’ll say.”

Hacksaw Ridge is now in theaters. Marvel’s latest release, Doctor Strange, hit US theaters last Friday and topped the box office this weekend.
