I would not think twice about being part of any incarnation of the 'X-Men' films.
I'm a lifer for the 'X-Men' movies.
I was as huge Spider-Man fan as a kid, but I really liked The Defenders a lot. I was also a big Moon Knight fan for some reason.
I wasn't a comic book aficionado at all when I was a kid, but my cousin Weed was. Every time we went to visit him on the farm, he had two really fun things: comedy albums and comic books.
I still can't get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the 'New Yorker.' Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times.
I read the 'Deadpool' series back in the '90s. I'm not, like, a huge comic book reader, per say, though. I'll check out 'Archie' when I'm in the grocery line, but that's about it.
I grew up a big comic book reader, as a kid, and I love the whole fanboy crowd.
I grew up on Marvel and, like, '2000 AD.'
Comics were not something that as a young kid you could say you were into in Manchester, Missouri. Kids did not read comic books back then.
X-Men is massive, like nothing I've ever experienced. But great in its own way.
I remember watching Wesley Snipes as Blade. I watched Michael Jai White as Spawn. I even watch Shaquille O'Neal as Steel. I felt like seeing a physical representation, a non-cartoon representation, affected me in a much different way.
'Avengers' was a great comic-book movie. 'The Dark Knight Rises' is a great epic.
I mean, like, I can go in a room and say, look, 'Watchmen' should be at least 15 minutes longer than 'Batman.' I mean, that's, like, any geek will tell you that.
All the PG-13 superhero movies are depriving me of the gore that I need.
I had never come across the 'X-Men' comics till I was asked to play Magneto, so I just jumped into that job.
I've never been a superhero-comic fan exactly.
I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, 'The kids love this!'
I think the success of the Marvel films comes from the fact that they're made by fans. They really love those characters. When I first came out dressed as Vision, Kevin Feige nearly cried.
I grew up as a huge comic fan and a huge Batman & Robin fan. I watched all the TV shows, went to all the movies - I even had the lunch box; man, I was in!
I really wasn't into comic books growing up.
The whole world makes comic book movies now.
I'm not a fan of the Michael Keaton 'Batman,' which came out in 1989.
'Spawn' was my favorite growing up, but I loved 'X-Men' and the 'Hulk' too.
I've never been to Comic-Con, but I'm certainly aware from this side of the Atlantic that it's a very important part of film marketing now, even when the films are not directly linked to a comic.
I'm very interested in Ben Affleck as Batman. I actually think he's a great choice.
