http://www.cineheroes.net/the-avengers-ne-ressemblera-pas-aux-films-captain-america-2-et-iron-man-3It is now over a year since Disney bought Marvel for $ 4 billion. What has changed for you ?I go to Disneyland without paying! (Laughs) Seriously, Iron Man 2 was a great success and has continued to pave the way for Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, due out in 2012. Things are changing according to the plan we had developed well before the financial deals are in the agenda: impose Marvel as a standalone movie studio to produce our superhero movies and have them coexist in a same universe.
This strategy tends to entire Avengers, a film which will bring together Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America and others. Discover the whole cast on stage at Comic-Con in San Diego last summer gave the impression of seeing a live written page of pop culture.It was an important moment for everyone. All actors, Robert Downey Jr. Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson …. made heaven and earth to be there. They were aware of the uniqueness of this moment.
2011 will be a pivotal year for you since you have two lesser-known heroes of the general public, Thor and Captain America, will arrive on the screens. If the movies do not work, we will inevitably wonder if the catalog Marvel was really its 4 billion.The pressure is there, of course, but we feel that every film we produce. The future of the studio was based entirely on the success of the first Iron Man, which was already a huge challenge and extremely risky. Today, with Thor and Captain America, we are in the same position we were at when we created Iron Man. These two heroes are actually less famous as Spider-Man or Batman, but several studies have shown that they are known at this stage of progress of films than was Iron Man. By Thor in Norse mythology, Captain America because it is present in comics since the early ’40s.
Thor is an epic fantasy, Captain America is an adventure film backdrop of World War II. It is a fairly strong sign: Marvel is not in the business but in the superhero movies.Exactly. It’s been years since I said at Marvel, which coincides with the arrival in cinemas of the first X-Men. A significant number of adaptations of comics have come out since and they are all different, that the public understands – that’s why they continue to walk as well. I’ve been saying, and it will become even more evident in the next two years: the superhero movies are not just a guy who dons a mask and thugs stuck in a driveway-cons.
The Avengers is the largest project that the studio has ever worn. Why have entrusted the implementation to Joss Whedon that he is a legend on TV, has not yet been proven in the movies?So far we have been lucky in choosing our directors. They have experience of filming on this scale is not essential. They come with their creativity and we bestow a technical team to manage the habit of big movies. This is what happened with Bryan Singer on X-Men, with Sam Raimi on Spider-Man or Jon Favreau on Iron Man. We have had several meeting with Joss in which they told us that he felt ready to take this course, which we are also convinced. It has also shown me the preview of the first big action sequence of The Avengers, and it’s really phenomenal.
What is the scenario?We have a first draft, which is probably the best we’ve ever had at Marvel. We will continue to sharpen up shooting, but we can say that the foundations are strong. We wanted to avoid the danger that the film looks like Iron Man or Captain America 3 2, and Joss has really managed to conceive as to the origin of the Avengers, the first of a new saga that everyone can enjoy without seeing the other Marvel films.
