Zack Sharf Digital News Director Martin Scorsese‘s daughter Francesca has become a viral TikTok star over the last few months thanks to her humorous videos featuring her Oscar-winning father. One such video, titled “The Muse,” garnered a lot of attention in October after it earned a response from “Avengers” co-director Joe Russo. In Francesca’s TikTok, Martin Scorsese playfully gives directing notes to her dog, Oscar.
Russo responded with his own video in which he jokingly calls his dog “Box Office.” While Russo was being playful, his video rubbed many people the wrong way as it came off as Russo gloating about his Marvel grosses at a time when Scorsese’s latest film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” wasn’t exactly setting the box office on fire. Scorsese infamously spoke out against Marvel movies several years ago, criticizing them for putting a stronghold on film exhibition and forcing mid-budget movies and more adult-oriented fare out of the mainstream marketplace. In a new interview with GQ, Francesca said she had not yet seen Russo’s divisive response to her beloved “The Muse.” Francesca herself is familiar with trolling her dad over his infamous Marvel comments.
One of her first viral social media moments was when she wrapped Christmas gifts for her father in Marvel wrapping paper. It earned a huge response online, which Francesca never saw coming. “I don’t want to offend anybody or anything,” Francesca told GQ about the Marvel debate.
“I do very much stand with my dad, but I did educate myself. Originally, when I was agreeing with him, I’d never seen a single Marvel film. And then during COVID, I finished all of them, but I still stand by it.

There isn’t a director-editor relationship in Hollywood more fruitful than Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker.
