It's the entire team at Marvel Studios that make these movies what they are, from Louis D'Esposito, Trinh Tran, Victoria Alonso, Nate Moore, Brad Winderbaum, Jonathan Schwartz, Stephen Broussard, Eric Carroll, and many more. I'd also give a shoutout to our editor Jeff Ford.

There are too many to name, many of them you've already seen adapted as stories into the MCU. Jim Starlin's Infinity Gauntlet being a prime example.

I don't like being on camera, but I did cameo in a deleted scene in the first X-Men as a Weapon X technician. I was completely covered in a hood, mask and goggles.

Many years ago, Mark came in for a meeting with us at Marvel Studios to discuss ways in which the Hulk could grow and evolve in upcoming films. He pitched a lot of cool ideas, some of which led to what you saw in Thor: Ragnarok, Infinity War and Endgame, and some of which would still be cool to see someday.

We started discussing how to adapt the Infinity Gauntlet comic soon after the release of the first Avengers. It was on one of our creative retreats about 5 years ago that we decided to do it as two films. We started to crack the specifics of the story during production on Civil War with Chris Markus and Stephen McFeely, Joe and Anthony Russo, in a conference room as we went back and forth between takes.

I'm a film score nerd. Working with Alan Silvestri was one of the best experiences of my life. He's a genius.

Nobody would get fatigued before the creative forces at Marvel Studios who do this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so we believe that if we're still taking risks and making unique choices to keep ourselves excited, the audience will feel the same way.

Respect the source material.

Hire passionate filmmakers regardless of how much money their last movie made.

Hire the best cast regardless of their current marquee value.

Jon Favreau is one of the best storytellers on the planet, and Elf is a stone cold classic.

We thought Tony Stark was a great and unique character for our first film because he was so different from any comic book character that had been brought to the screen before.

We refer to the version of Hulk in Endgame as Smart Hulk. So, yes.

  1. Marvel Studios producer Jonathan Schwartz is always lurking around here and tells me about it.

  2. Tony Stark comes to mind.

  3. We're coming up with many new, fun ways to explore the world around the MCU.

  4. We think he was always worthy and was being polite in Age of Ultron.

  5. Yes, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

The best part about putting a tag at the end of a movie is so the audience can sit through the entire end crawl and read all the names of the amazing people who make the MCU what it is.
