Then, the four-time Marvel movie director Joe Russo posted a video of himself on his Instagram handle saying:

“Aw look, he has a schnauzer. I love schnauzers. And he named it Oscar. That’s really cute. Oscar.” [Then he holds his own schnauzer and says] Alright, come on, Box Office.”

Here, Russo is playfully making fun of the Silence director. More than that, Russo pointed the video at Scorsese, captioning it, “It appears we have the same muse @martinscorsese.”

Scorsese’s fans didn’t seem to enjoy this playful exchange, and several of them reacted to it. One mused: “For a second, I thought this was gonna heal the Marvel – Scorsese divide.”

Another wrote: “This just shows how insecure Russo brothers are, despite their box office success. Martin Scorsese is a legend, and the Russo brothers are [making two Joker faces].”

While another commented: “Man, you have no idea of what directing a movie means, and you are joking about the greatest living director…shut up and go to learn how to make movies.”

Scorsese has recently been seen spending some quality time with his beloved Oscar. The director often posts videos of Oscar on his social media handles.
