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.

I've always believed in expanding the definition of what a Marvel Studios movie could be.

'X-Men 1' - I did a cameo.

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.

The best thing about being a film producer is I get to spend 99 per cent of my time behind the scenes.

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.
