people aviation comic
Listen, people like Brian Bendis did great things for comic readers, great things for comic readers.
crazy hero emotional
The other thing is we have an incredible villain. And we worked very hard to have villains that are connected to the hero. They have an effect, an emotional effect. They never become out-of-this-world, crazy villains.
thinking make-you-think should
Everything you see that makes you think about the comics, I think you should read into it.
jobs book kids
Listen, my day job is also Chief Creative Officer for Marvel, and it's a very painful job because we publish a lot of books, and there are things I see where I can punch people out. Therefore, we have some new people now, and the kids are going to read our books.
judging going-away stuff
On the first movie we got good reviews, but we were still dealing with genre stuff. It's going away. Judge the movie - is it a good one or a bad one? We know we made a great movie and it's being judged for just being a good film.
spiritual buddhist guy
There is a director who should make 'Silver Surfer' - he is mentally committed to it. He's doing another movie now. What's most important to me about this guy, first, is that he's incredible with visuals. But he's also a spiritual guy, a Zen Buddhist. ... Galactus is a force of nature, not a being. That's all I'm saying.
betting phoenix
were a betting man....yes, you will see Phoenix in this movie.
took wrong
It's no secret, we took a lot of sh-- for Ang Lee's 'Hulk,' for all the wrong reasons,
book aviation comic
At the same time, as you know, unless you are a comic book reader, Daredevil is not a known thing.
character heart stories
Once we got over the origin story, we could really delve deeper into their lives and characters and angst. So this movie actually has more heart, more humor.
drama believe unanswered-questions
You have to believe in the arthouse, if you will - the emotion, the conflict, the who am I, which will always be an unanswered question. If you do it right, you have a smaller drama, and a great movie.
two guy different
When you choose a villain, you need something visually exciting. And when you have someone like Jamie Foxx... you want to make sure the guy with the mask and the guy without the mask are delivering two different performances.
team great-team cyclops
We love Cyclops and as you know, we love James. It's a great team and we'll continue the team, obviously.
mouths conviction ifs
If you don't have your conviction you have to put your money where your mouth is.
