Michael Pena Quotes

One of the things that I really admire about the Marvel motion pictures is that, in one year, 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' which was a taut political thriller, and 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' which was a cosmic comedy, came out, and they could not be more different, and yet they both felt very Marvel.

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

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.'

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

I like movies with superheroes - one of my favorite movies of all time was 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.'

I would by no means call myself an expert or say that I'm extremely into superhero movies, but I've pretty much seen every Avengers movie and Iron Man, so I'd say a good amount.

Joss Whedon and all the writers of 'Iron Man' and 'Thor' found a way to keep Coulson saying something that keeps you guessing. I'm really lucky because a lot of people play agents and don't get nearly as much fun stuff to do.

I look at the Christian Bale movies, the 'Batman' films, and that shows you that superhero movies don't just have to be about men in tights.

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

Animation is my love, but I think there's definitely room in live-action. I mean, 'Iron Man 2' was fun, and I got to see that world.

I love the Marvel movies, but I always feel like we should be a step ahead of the movies. One of the reasons those movies have been so good and so successful is that they've been very good at mining the comics.

When someone says 'comic book movies', what they inevitably mean is a summer superhero blockbuster, with heavily-muscled and tightly-gluted men (plus the occasional token woman) in tight-fitting costumes punching the living daylights out of one another for two hours.

I was really into the first 'Spider-Man' films with Tobey Maguire, so it's pretty cool how it all came full circle.

I look at the Marvel movies and the DC movies and various creators' creations, and I think, you know, that's really pretty cool.

It would be a really great to do a Marvel film - not even playing a superhero: just being part of that universe would be amazing.

Comic book characters are characters who wear costumes. They're not necessarily different than other characters. The trend I think that you're seeing are comic book movies, at least the ones that Marvel makes, don't have comic book stories. They have dramatic human stories.

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

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

I went to see the 'Spider-Man' movies because my wife is a fan, and so are my kids.

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

As a Marvel fan who grew up with 'The Avengers' and 'Ant-Man' and everything, I definitely have my own sort of feelings about what I want to see as a fan in an 'Ant-Man' movie.

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

It's much easier to make a Superman or Batman film than a Green Lantern film.

That's one of the things that I've loved about 'Spider-Man' and Marvel in general. The characters all have dimension.

As long as you don't think about the whole big picture, producing 'Spider-Man' is a fantastic experience.
