Quotes[]

"I grew up on Marvel comics, so it’s very exciting to be part of their ever expanding entertainment empire. It’s great. I love the movies, I love the TV shows that they do, so I’m very pleased to be part of one. I grew up an absolute devotee to the worlds of Marvel, so the fact that they’ve expanded now into TV and film is something that I think I sort of fantasied about when I was younger. So now to be part of it, to be on the other side of it is a thrill."
"Who says it’s a villain? Make no assumptions. I’m saying nothing … I’ve found myself in another world which I can answer no questions about."
"You should read these scripts. They’re really good."
"This is something I grew up with. It’s like my eight year old self doesn’t know what to do with himself."
"I think comic books are a glorious wonderful art form and I think Marvel is one of the things that we’ll be looking back on in a hundred years’ time, they’ll be one of the cornerstones of our cultural existence."
"You just read the script and you go 'Well writing isn't this good normally – these scripts are just perfection.' So I just thought this is a gamble worth taking."
