If you had the collector cards of the Marvel characters and you could see the power levels, she would be off the charts compared to anyone that we’ve previously introduced in a film. Having a female director at the helm to tell the story of a woman who is also our most powerful hero by far is very important to us. Is finding a female director for “Captain Marvel” a priority? When you look at “Black Panther” - when you look at “Captain Marvel,” which will be Brie Larson in the title role - it is a very important thing for us to have diversity both in front of the camera and behind the camera. They’ve showcased all sorts of different cultures and ethnicities. Do you believe Marvel has a role to play in creating opportunities for people of color, women, and other groups?Ībsolutely.
There’s a lot of discussion of inclusion in the business. We try to keep audiences coming back in greater numbers by doing the unexpected and not simply following a pattern or a mold or a formula.

I’ve always believed in expanding the definition of what a Marvel Studios movie could be. Because I’m a fan, and I want to see what other people are doing in the world. What other people are adapting from the comics medium, I watch with as much interest as I do any other movies. There are more comic-book movies being made, with DC trying to develop its own cinematic universe. We certainly have enough films to keep us busy for a number of lifetimes. That’s in contrast to Tony Stark’s life or Stephen Strange’s.įox controls the film rights to “The X-Men” and “The Fantastic Four.” Could you partner with them on a movie as you did with Sony? In the film, he’s a young kid who has to be home at curfew so his Aunt May doesn’t get worried, and go to school, and do his homework. In the comic books, Spider-Man always existed in a world where the Avengers existed, and Iron Man existed, and the Hulk would run through the streets, and Captain America had been thawed out of the ice. In the previous films, Spider-Man was the only superhero who existed in that world. It takes place inside the cinematic universe that we have built across 14 films. How will that change this version of “Spider-Man”? “Spider-Man: Homecoming” is backed by Sony but produced by Marvel. But right now I don’t want to think about it and don’t need to think about it. There’s a precedent for it in other franchises that suggests it’s possible. And you can look to Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, and Batman as characters that last longer than any one actor playing them. I couldn’t imagine anybody else.īut you also look to history: We have a new Spider-Man right now who was in our “Civil War” film and is in “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” and the audience has embraced it. I go back to Chris Reeve as Superman as the gold standard, and I think Evans is right there. Chris Evans has embodied Captain America as well as any actor has ever embodied an iconic pop-culture figure like that. is Iron Man, and right now I can’t envision anyone else. There are a lot of movies that everyone is signed on for, and we get to enjoy them for a long time. Luckily we don’t have to make that decision anytime soon. or Chris Evans decide they want to move on? Would you recast your biggest superheroes with other actors if, say, Robert Downey Jr.
did by molding and shaping and turning into something even more contemporary and relatable.
Think about what you saw Benedict do in “Doctor Strange” - he embodied that character and made it his own. They have a lot of freedom to take what has made the characters as popular for as long as they’ve appeared in the comics, and evolve it and grow it. How much freedom do you give actors to put their own imprint on characters?
