I thought, 'Oh, this is great,' because maybe someone who does look like me will watch 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' and realize that they can be an actor if they want to be, or they can be a superhero. They can have a hero that looks like them as well.

I love the idea of writing these huge, bombastic characters; I'll stay in the superhero world as long as I can.

It's more fun to write villains. They are more of a challenge, and I get a sick kind of pleasure out of delving into their minds. There's rarely emptiness, and there is almost always deep intelligence.

I have a long love of superhero films, and I'd been saying over and over again to my agents at CAA that I'd like to do one.

I would love to play the villain, but again, it sort of what happens in this industry.

Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.

I want to play a villain - I can't wait to play a villain.

Sometimes, people know me from Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' But that usually only happens in America.

In thinking about it, the villains often have a little bit more range because their morality is different. You can have just a really good time as an actor, and there is just more there that you can explore on that side of the story.

It is much more fun to write about villains then heroes. The villains are the ones that think out the scheme, and the heroes just kind of come along for the ride.
