Rejection is a common occurrence. Learning that early and often will help you build up the tolerance and resistance to keep going and keep trying.
All of the Marvel characters have flaws to them; all of them have a deep humanity to them.
A very high bar has been set with Robert Downey in 'Iron Man.' That idea was, find the best actor for the part, regardless of whether they've been in a movie like this before.
Chris Evans has embodied Captain America as well as any actor has ever embodied an iconic pop-culture figure like that. I go back to Chris Reeve as Superman as the gold standard, and I think Evans is right there.
Humor is the secret into the audience's other ranges of emotions.
Every time we make a movie, 'Guardians' included, 'Black Panther' included, 'Infinity War' included, we just feel lucky to be making that movie, and that's basically what the focus is on.
The best thing about being a film producer is I get to spend 99 per cent of my time behind the scenes.
I had admired the way the producers of the 'Harry Potter' franchise had found David Yates, who ended up doing their four final movies, and he'd come from television.
I've always believed in expanding the definition of what a Marvel Studios movie could be.
One thing that brings me great, great joy is reading the reviews of 'Civil War' and seeing the much deserved credit that Chris Evans is getting for his performance as Captain America.
In the case of 'Thor,' it was just casting the best people for the part. Ken Branagh had the idea to cast Idris Elba as Heimdall, and we didn't blink at that chance to do it.
'Iron Man' and 'Iron Man 2' are as Jon Favreau films as you can see.
'Captain America: First Avenger' is very much a Joe Johnston film.
I'm not sure that 'Iron Man' is a superhero movie. I think towards the end of the movie, Iron Man pretends to be a superhero - he's entertained by that notion. I think 'X-Men' is a sci-fi movie.
It's true that once a year I travel to Comic-Con... but there I can quickly lower the lights; I can show them the clips, introduce a few stars. And the spotlight is quickly off me.
'X-Men 1' - I did a cameo.
What other people are adapting from the comics medium, I watch with as much interest as I do any other movies. Because I'm a fan, and I want to see what other people are doing in the world.
We always set out to just make a great movie.
We try to keep audiences coming back in greater numbers by doing the unexpected and not simply following a pattern or a mold or a formula.
I'd argue that the term 'superhero' is much too broadly used.
