I've gone through various periods with superheroes. They work in the right hands, but they don't work in other hands. It's tricky. But any movie is tricky. It's impossible to say, 'This is what you do in any situation.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can say pretty confidently that I am not the right guy to do a superhero movie, just because I was not a comic book kid. I don't know that mythology, and I don't have it ingrained in me in the way that a lot of these other directors do.
You don't just have to see superhero movies. Ultimately, those movies are westerns - superheroes are good guys fighting bad guys in a landscape. In westerns, that divide couldn't be any more clear, but the only superpower you have is that you're a quicker shot than the other guy.
Getting to play superheros is a pretty good job.
I am very big into superheroes.
As a kid, you run around the house pretending to be a superhero, and now to be doing it as a job, I feel very lucky.
I'm not a superhero - I'm a super worker!
You create superheroes to take care of problems that can't really be solved another way.
I've learned that being a superhero isn't all glitz and glamour. We think if we have a special power, our problem will go away. It's just a new set of problems. Being a superhero alienates you and separates you from humanity. As Spiderman famously said, 'With great power comes great responsibility.'
I've always dreamed of being a superhero, and I actually got to play one!
I've never done a superhero movie. It's very nice to you as an actor in several worlds to go and to experiment.
