Doug Liman Quotes

It's Marvel movies that get the big audiences.

I'm a big comic book person. I love Captain America. I like John Henry. I'm hoping to play one of the superhero characters that's coming from Marvel.

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

I'd always wanted to do a Marvel project, and I'd always imagined getting to play one of the superheroes because it's such a hard thing to get. It's the parts that only go to a few people. The flip side of that is the antagonists are pretty awesome.

'Avengers' was a great comic-book movie. 'The Dark Knight Rises' is a great epic.

The success of 'X-Men' paved the way, I have to presume, for Sony to make Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man.'

I love comic book movies, and Marvel Comics obviously are the best.

I love other movies that have been made since, but I think more than any comic book movie, 'Superman' just totally seemed to capture superheroes in ways that others have not.

The '80s convergence of comics' new adult sensibility with the movies' advancing technology was bound to catch the attention of even slow-on-the-uptake Hollywood, and this particularly was true when 'Watchmen' and 'The Dark Knight Returns' became phenomena.

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.

I remember watching the 'Iron Man' cartoons when I was younger. I remember reading the origin stories and some of the Silver Age stuff, and I read 'The Avengers' - 'The Defenders' and then 'The Avengers' - and that sort of brought me into 'Iron Man.'

If you look at Marvel Comics, there are very few Marvel characters I would like to write.

I didn't care if it was 'Daredevil' or 'Captain America,' I was a fan of all of it. It was just a part of my growing up.

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

The comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.
