I want to be a part of 'Avengers'; they can make me the Hulk! I want to do a superhero film.
There isn't just one kind of person that can play a superhero.
People like Superman, The Flash - they just feel limited in who they are and what you can do with them because everyone knows who they are and what they do. Someone like Animal Man feels very open to interpretation.
When you look at Clark Kent when he's working at the Daily Planet, he's a reporter. He doesn't fly through the air in his glasses and his suit.
Flash is about freedom; Flash is about expression. Flash is about just the joy of exuberant running and of freedom, and the moment you weight him down with too much Batman-like baggage... that's not the Flash anymore.
What's true of the Marvel brand is that we're not as invested in the cape and the cowl as we are in the individuals. That goes all the way back to Stan Lee, from the very beginning.
I don't think Luke Cage as a superhero is something that has changed dramatically from the '70s to now. He's a black man going through the same thing as other people of colour - it's just that he has superpowers.
I did not know much about 'Black Lightning' beforehand, but I always wanted to play a superhero. After getting the part, I went back and read the comic books.
I don't want to be like Spider-man or Batman, the do-gooder kind of thing.
I think being an archer is much more integral to Green Arrow and his mythos than it is to Hawkeye.
Since childhood, I wanted to become a superhero. When I do anything in real life, I believe that I am a superhero, like in the way I fight, dance, or jump.
This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before.
I really wish I were a superhero.
What makes Luke Cage unique isn't him being black. Yes, he is black, but he has other things.
Superman looks exactly the same when he puts his glasses on and combs his hair... And everyone acts like it's someone else. I don't buy it. Batman has a proper disguise.
I guess every superhero need his theme music.
I've always dreamed of being a superhero, and I actually got to play one!
I am young, and I think all young guys would love to play a superhero - any superhero - it doesn't matter. I could be a superhero that would just turn into a big blob or something like that, but I could tell all the ladies, 'Hey, I am superhero!'
Jesus, man. Why do people want to be Paris Hilton and nobody wants to be Spider-Man?
I think a superhero would be awesome to play.
..you wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent
When I've been asked in the past about my dream role, I always expressed how much I'd like to be a superhero.
And that's when I realized, when you're a kid you don't need a costume, you ARE superman.
I thought it was such a unique concept to play parents who happen to be super heroes and have a son who is going through puberty and starting high school.
I do know in the 1960s comics, Martian Manhunter took on the form of a black man - that could have been influenced by the political climate back then.
