Kevin Feige Quotes

I enjoyed 'The Avengers.' I couldn't do that kind of movie though. Superheroes aren't my deal.

'Hawkeye' is much more intimate than any of the superhero works I've done before.

I watch comic book movies. Give me 'The Avengers,' give me 'Thor', those are my area. But I don't watch comedies.

My favorite movie is 'Iron Man.' I tell people that I think it's just as good as 'Dark Knight,' if not better, and people tell me I'm crazy. I really like 'Iron Man.'

Sometimes those big bloated superhero movies take themselves too seriously compared to the material they were based on. Am I going to listen to psychoanalysis from someone with a mask?

There's a nostalgic aspect to the 'Iron Man' franchise for me.

'Comic book' has come to mean a specific genre, not a story form, in people's minds. So someone will call 'Die Hard' a 'comic-book movie,' when it has nothing to do with comic books. I'd rather have comics be the vehicle by which stories are told.

I don't really think that very much is interesting about the superhero as an archetype.

I love the Avengers movies and Iron Man and Captain America.

I've been dying to do a Marvel picture for so long.

It has occurred to me that the superhero really only originates in America. That seems to be the only country that has produced this phenomenon.

'X-Men' films have always been big, and necessarily so, because of the stories they have to tell.

I think 'Spider-Man 2' is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' is tongue-in-cheek and has a sense of humor about itself. But it's nothing like 'Deadpool.' 'Deadpool' is this super-bizarre thing. The best thing about it is that it's R-rated.

Superhero movies have become a genre unto themselves, and I didn't really grow up on superhero movies. I grew up on genre movies before superhero was a genre.

'Ant-Man' was a genre, I guess, that I hadn't really tackled before.

'Spider-Man' seems to have a different tone to the pure Marvel stuff, but I really enjoyed the 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' and 'Iron Man' movies. I love the special effects and how it seems very real, but at the same time, it still lives within the realm of Marvel. That's got to be a lot of work.

I loved 'Iron Man.'

'Iron Man' and 'Iron Man 2' are as Jon Favreau films as you can see.

The 'X-Men' franchise has not been a perfect one.

In terms of the 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' movie, Bryan Singer has been a part of the X-Men family from the first movie. He knows about the comics canon and how it relates to his work as a filmmaker. He's more well versed in the canon than most, as are the people that are working with him.

El Santo's movies were kind of out there, but Mil Mascaras did the more reality-based type sci-fi movies. You could say he was one of the first to open the notion for those that subscribe to the mentality that this is sports-entertainment.

I'd loved 'Iron Man,' you know, with a passion. I thought that was the most fresh, cool thing, in terms of superhero movies, that I'd seen in a long time.

I wish the 'Dark Phoenix' saga had been done more effectively than it was, but that was out of my hands.

I'd argue that the term 'superhero' is much too broadly used.
